A guest here, indeed, but a frequent one ...

Pirates! is simply the best game I ever played on my good old C-128. (I came over from the C-16 straight). It's been so long ... but thanks to Abandonia I enjoyed the Carribean flair once again tonight (I'm reading the Hornblower-series for background information to my own literary work ... it just seemed right to plunder some ships and ports meanwhile )

Really feeling stupid about this but I wonder if anyone ever reached 150 Pirate points? (Should be the maximum, I guess.) King's advisor starts at 100 but it still goes upwards - my old record was 147/150 (or was it 197 I wonder while I write this) which made me King's Advisor Duke. (If 147 doesn't reach this rank it was 197, I'm only certain about the rank and the "7" as the last number.) Trying real hard I never got nearly as high again, only in the 120+. Still perfect for being "the" Pirates! player at school at that time :brain:

I might get this information while checking Pirates Gold, but I miss the keyboard-commands for the sword-battles. Once I even won against 2:1 odds (yes, at swashbuckler-level), now I suck against equal opponents
