The latest ZXDB update will be applied this evening at 1800 BST. The update takes around 30 minutes, and the site goes down whilst this happens.

Pirates

Y'know, other stuff, Sinclair related.

This would be a good project, to translate it to EN and to be converted to the 128K... Just saying...

You should realise that it's not a version of "these" famous Pirates:
https://www.mobygames.com/game/214/sid-meiers-pirates/

I've never got deep into it but it seems to be some kind of a turn-based board game where there are two sides, each with its own fleet of ships.
But could be interesting anyway, if you are into that kind of stuff.

It's quality. I discovered it via Pete's homebrew poll. and would certainly like to see it translated (Ed - then why not pull your finger out and do it yourself Dave?!).

Was someone on here not working on converting the Sid Meier one, IIRC?

Yep, it's the thread: viewtopic.php?t=1569

I guess that nothing came out of it.
