Guest Pondrew Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Astraware are celebrating International Talk Like a Pirate Day by having a one day discount offer on a couple of their Windows Mobile games and are advertising it in a distinctly Piratical (sp?!) manner! Avast me hearties! Splice the mainbrace and set tunstall... and other rougish mutterings :exclaim: THE MIDLANDS, UK - September 19th, 2005 - Avast me hearties!!! Monday 19th September is International Talk Like a Pirate Day and the Astraware Team has decided to embrace the theme wholeheartedly. ARRR! We've dressed the office with palm trees and parrots and we're bracing our mainsails and shivvering our timbers for a fine rum ole time! To share the festivities with you, we're making two top pirate-themed titles available with a special discount for one day only. Blast the pirates with a full broadside from your cannons or lure them on to the reefs in Seven Seas for Palm OS® and Windows Mobile for Pocket PC and Smartphone. In Tradewinds you can build your empire through swashbuckling sea combat and trade! Achieve the ultimate rank of Tai Pan or become the renowned Pirate King, Gossamer. Tradewinds is available for Palm OS® and Windows Mobile for Pocket PC. This one-day discount offers both titles with 10 pieces of silver off the regular price, making Seven Seas $4.95 and Tradewinds $9.95. Here's a word from our very own tyrannical pirate captain, Redbeard Tomlinson: "Arrr, now's yer chance to get a bit piratey - and if we don't get at least an Arrr out of ye, it'll be twelve strokes of the cat and no internet access for the rest of the day! A-harrr." For a fantastic example of 'Review Like a Pirate', check out James Sweet's swashbuckling review of Seven Seas:http://www.smartgamer.org/reviews/sevenseas/.

Guest dearsina Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 This reminds me a little bit of a game called Pirates Gold, which I used to play back in the 386 days. Did a quick google search for it and you can actually download it for free now. Anybody fancy a quick port? http://www.abandonia.com/games/134/download/PiratesGold.htm arr matey, one-eyed-sina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
