[edit] Pirates! Gold (1993)

The last release of the game before a decade-long absence was in 1993. MicroProse developed a 256-color version called Pirates! Gold for MS-DOS, Macintosh, Mega Drive/Genesis, Amiga CD32 and Windows 3.x featuring an inspired MIDI score and mouse support (in MS-DOS and Windows versions). The PC versions contained a copy-protection scheme similar to that employed on the 1987 Atari port. Sea-to-sea, Sea-to-land, and Land-to-land combat were done in a real-time strategy screen. Sun sighting was not present in this version, and there were no special items.

Pirates! Gold for DOS featured 256 colors, a big leap over its predecessors.
