Pirates! Gold is a 1993 computer game, a sequel to Sid Meier's 1987 release, Sid Meier's Pirates!. MicroProse developed this 256-color version for MS-DOS, Macintosh, Mega Drive/Genesis, Amiga CD32 and Windows 3.x featuring a 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.
