So lets take a look at a pirate game seeing as Pirates Of The Caribbean 4 is out.... Lovely graphics, music and a fast moving sprite is let down by some of the WORST scrolling I've ever seen and a game riddled with bugs! Likely to crash at any moment... ...in fact it does at the start of level 4. The original disk dump on the CPC-Power site crashes there, but thankfully there's another disk dump of a cracked version (that ironically crashes on level 1!) that has a level select so I continue on using that. Domark yet again making a right hash of a conversion, at least with 128k it loads in all the levels at once. There's a REALLY long wait before the next level loads in from memory (and is where it usually crashes) but I've edited out this wait. cpc-power.com | From: Xyphoe (http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=Xyphoe) Views: 5 (http://gdata.youtube.com/static/images/icn_star_empty_11x11.gif) (http://gdata.youtube.com/static/images/icn_star_empty_11x11.gif) (http://gdata.youtube.com/static/images/icn_star_empty_11x11.gif) (http://gdata.youtube.com/static/images/icn_star_empty_11x11.gif) (http://gdata.youtube.com/static/images/icn_star_empty_11x11.gif) 0 ratings |

Amstrad action gave this a poor review.
You did well to play it for so long!

Scrolling is absolutely terrible - when I see things like this I want to fix it...!
