What's the best pirate game?

depends on a genre :)

Best pirate strategy game: Port Royale 2

Best pirate RPG- Pirates of Carribean with all the mods (they turn the game from meh to awesome)

Best pirate adventure game - Monkey Island 2

I would have to go with Sid Meier's Pirates as well as far as the best. One of my personal favorites though is Pirates - The Legend of the Black Kat. Not the greatest game but I had a great deal of fun with it and I really liked the main character Katerina de Leon.

I always hoped that they would make an improved sequel but instead they made a game based on the character Jack Sparrow a few years later. Ah well...

for me it would be sid meiers pirates for regular pirate stuff but i seen one post that was skies of arcadia and if sky pirates count then that would be the best pirate game for me :)

Monkey Island 2 gets my vote, although if we're talking about pirate sims, then Cutthroats was probably my favourite (despite the terrible reviews).

In terms of doing piratey things I would have to go with Sid Meier's Pirates! The remake of course, I never had the lucky chance to play the original.foxhound_fox

Yeah, I love Monkey Island, I've only played Escape From Monkey Island recently though, I'm going to look into buying Curse of Monkey Island :D It's good to see some games I don't recognise, I'll definitely check them out :)Stoufzilla

I hope that you mean that you own the other MI games, but have only played Escape from Monkey Island recently...because if you've only played EMI, I feel sorry for you.:?
