Sid Meier's Pirates! is a 2004 strategy, action, and adventure video game developed by Firaxis Games and published by Atari, and later on 2K Games. The game is a remake of Sid Meier's earlier 1987 game, also named Sid Meier's Pirates!. Overall, the gameplay remains similar to the original game.
The Xbox version was released on July 11, 2005, and includes some multiplayer capabilities. The Xbox version was re-released on the Xbox Live Marketplace for the Xbox 360 as an Xbox Original on February 11, 2008, as the Xbox version is on the Xbox 360 backward compatibility list in North America and Europe. It is also backwards compatibile with the Xbox One.
There is an Easter egg which turns the game's dialogue to stereotypical pirate talk on International Talk Like a Pirate Day.
A Bug in the German Version of the game makes the game unplayable. You cant dividing the Plunder. The Bug has not been fixed in the digital copies of the game on Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
