Pirates! Gold review

Compute! Magazine Issue 159 (1993): "Pirates! Goid is truly a visual feast, with hand-painted screens that have the feel of Caribbean watercolors. It's off to the seas in a small sloop to seek fame, fortune, and many, many dueling scars.
All in all, Pirates! Gold is as addicting a game as you're likely to find. It doesn't take weeks to learn, and it provides hours of fun. In the fencing sequence, you'll find yourself lunging, parrying, and slashing in a duel with an opponent. At first it seems like an exercise in key bashing, but after several duels the madness gives way to method, and you'll discover that there are times when a parry can save your hide and set you up for."
