[Kroogah]

There's a Pirates of the Caribbean level in Disney's Adventures in the Magic Kingdom for NES.

TMNT: Turtles in Time had a pirate ship level.

Can't forget the hidden pirate ship in Tony Hawk 3's Skater Island, complete with a pirate heckler. "Polly wanna see some real skills!"

Aren't there pirates in just about every Monkey Island game?

I swear Nyami has a pirate costume in one of the Pop'n Music games....

[Darth Sensei]

I may get slammed for this, but in SM3 there were several Pirate Ship type levels. I'm not sure you guys would count that.

Unreal Tournament has a pirate ship level.

Tenchu for PS1 had a pirate you had to kill. (If I remember correctly)

Isn't Cervantes from Soul Calibur a pirate?

[Sniderman]

There also be a Pirates of the Carribbean fer the GBA. I 'ave it, meself. Arr.

Let's not ferget The Goonies (NES) nor the entire Monkey Island series! Chock full of pirates the Monkey Island series has!

[Raccoon Lad]

Don't forget Data East's Captain Silver, A crappy arcade game that had a really crappy Famicom game semi-based on it, and a Sega Master System game that was FAR superior to the arcade game (Japan and Europe), but butchered into a pretty crummy game for it's US release.

[IntvGene]

Gauntlet III for the Lynx. You even get to send your parrot out to attack your foes.

[Darth Sensei]

2 more things that I remembered.

Didn't FF5 and Time Splitters have a pirate character too? :hmm:

[Neil Koch]

How do you find that pirate ship in Tony Hawk?

[Kroogah]

In Skater Island, the thing that resembles a treehouse (next to the halfpipe) there are 2 flags hanging. An American flag, and a Jolly Roger flag. Grind the Jolly Roger and you will get a cutscene.

How about the pirates in Zelda: Wind Waker?

[Neil Koch]

Cool, thanks... I've never really explored that level, I just do long grinds along the pools to get big scores.

[Arcade Antics]

What? No fans of One-Eye and Red Dog from Atari's SKULL & CROSSBONES?

I mean, HARRR!!!!

[Sylentwulf]

FEATURE pirates, or have pirates in them?

Skies of arcadia, Final Fantsy 1, Final Fantasy 2, Legaia 2, yada yada....

[Jorpho]

Hmm... Popeye. And Donkey Kong Country 2.

300 (1963) (http://www.ford-wiki.com/wiki/Ford_300_(1963))

[ddockery]

Nothing will EVER top Pirates! for the C64. Same as the NES game, but somehow it was so much better. I had that map memorized down to the last tree...

[SoulBlazer]

And Sid is working on a remake of Pirates! 8-)

[E Nice]

(Spin it!)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-oohooh ...

(Let's begin it)
(Bear 'n grin it!)
(Spin it!)

Oh-ee-yeah (Tale Spin)
Oh-ee-yoh (Tale Spin)
Friends for life, through thick and thin
With another tale to spin
Oh-ee-yeah (Tale Spin)
Oh-ee-yoh (Tale Spin)
All the trouble we get in
With another tale to spin

TaleSpin videogames if it wasn't clear enough. :D

[petewhitley]

How about "The Legend Of Black Kat" on this generation of consoles? That's a full-on lady pirate game.

[Jorpho]

That reminds me, Claw (http://www.captainclaw.com/) (old Monolith platform game) probably qualifies.

(Despite being a Monolith game, I never hear much about that one.)

No mention of either Pirate Ship Higemaru (arcade) or Higemaru Makaijima (Famicom) by Capcom, I see.

Truthfully, I'm really not surprised. Check them both out, though - they're both great! Phosphor Dot Fossils will back me up on this.

[KlarthAilerion]

a couple more NES games with pirates in them.. I'm sure there are more..

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
Uncharted Waters

[Kid Fenris]

Princess Crown, available for the Japanese Saturn, features a pirate with the goofy name of "Portgus."

In Thousand Arms, Wyna is a pirate. She doesn't have the "F'narr!" patois of other pirates, though.

[hydr0x]

Monkey Island Series
Zelda: WW
Mario Sunshine (the pirate ship in the park)
Colonization

[Jorpho]

Oh, and then there's Hook. (The arcade game looks pretty nice.)
________
Toys xxx (http://www.fucktube.com/categories/41/toys/videos/1)

[Metrackle]

Skulljagger: Revolt of the Westicans. Battle ruthless pirates armed with a broadsword and bubblegum (I kid you not).

And also that Spanish pirate themed knock-off of Blood Bros. for the arcade (appropriately and vaguely named Pirates).

[GrandAmChandler]

Mickey Mousecapade (NES) - Pirate Ship level, with pirate boss

Disney's adventures in the magic kingdom (NES) - Not positive, but wasn't there a Pirates of the Carribean level?

[Ruudos]

grandamchandler, yes that's true.


Captain Havoc (Genesis)
Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse (that small guy is a pirate, isn't he?)
Mario Party 2 (I think this one has a board with a pirate theme)

Probably also some Asterix games I think. I'm not sure, but the pirates almost always show up in the comic books.

[Sotenga]

Maximo: Ghosts to Glory (PS2)

The third world combines the Arctic and zombie pirates. Captain Cadaver is one hard boss.

[Duncan]

Mickey Mousecapade (NES) - Pirate Ship level, with pirate boss

Now that you mention it, there's also a Viking Ghost Ship level in Quackshot (Genesis). They were like pirates, but no one ever calls them that. :P

Duncan :D

[Ruudos]

I haven't lI haven't played the game, but there should be pirates in it:

Cutthroat Island (SNES)

[ddockery]

Soulblazer, can you point me to some info on the remake? That could cost me my job!

[Immutable]

I played the arcade version a while ago. Now that's an addictive game!

[rayearthknight]

Infocom's "Plundered Hearts"--text adventure with a female lead character
"Cuthroat Island" (for better of for worse)
In Final Fantasy and Ultima Exodus you have to fight pirates and steal thier ship
Wild ARMS features a pirate ship wedding
The Metroid was stolen by Space Pirates

[rayearthknight]

Mickey Mousecapade (NES) - Pirate Ship level, with pirate boss

Now that you mention it, there's also a Viking Ghost Ship level in Quackshot (Genesis). They were like pirates, but no one ever calls them that. :P

Duncan :D
It was Pegleg Pete...I think

[Immutable]

I don't recall if anyone mentioned this, but do PIRATED games count? Heh...

[Slate]

How about Shipwreckers! For the PS1? :D

[Dire 51]

Now that I've read this again, I realize how much I miss my copy of Capcom Generation Volume 3. PSH was the game I played the most on it.

Still waiting for PDF to back me up here... ;)

[FurinkanianFrood]

I've been meaning to get Capcom Generation 3 ever since I read what PhosphorDotFossil's had to say about it.

Gameplay looks to be rather addictive. I'm finally getting around to getting the last of the Capcom Geners I don't have about now.

People always put that one down. Why?

Because the games are old? What a load....

As if the other games in those compilation packs are hyper giga poly am-gear spec 4D or something.

It's the 100 kilo shock!!!!

I think it gets put down so much because the games are so obscure. Instead of say, Strider or Forgotten Worlds, we get Vulguus, Exed Exes, Pirate Ship Higemaru and Son Son - all of which are great. So what if very few people over here know them?

[youruglyclone]

if we're going to imports, all and any one piece games
