General information

Availability
Best version
Pirates! Gold has greatly improved graphics and sound. The GOG.com release includes both versions of the game.
Issues
Pirates! Gold original Windows version on 64-bit Windows
The original Windows version of Pirates! Gold is a 16-bit Windows 3.x game so cannot be used on 64-bit versions of Windows without workarounds (e.g. running it in a virtual machine). The easiest solution is to use the DOS version in DOSBox. The GOG.com release is pre-packaged with DOSBox.
