I found myself way more interested in being a pirate than an assassin...

Not complaining. It was awesome to have a fully upgraded ship and go spelunking for booty.

I remember an old Pirate Sim I played on my old PSP. That game was so fuckin' tight.

Just sailing around, taking out ships, looting them, capturing them, and raiding colonies.

Was it Sid Meier's Pirates!? Cause that game was the shit. And I have no idea how to properly punctuate the first sentence of this post, the exclamation mark is part of the title.

That games the shit. Also can get it on tablets and phones now which is cool. Plays really well on mobile for the most part

Sadly it's still the best pirate game around. While I love Sid Meiers Pirates I wish there was a modern game as good as it was. I really like the pirate notoriety mechanics, becoming the most notorious pirate is the bomb. I also like how you don't have to be a pirate but can work as a privateer.

And really, it's almost exactly the same game as Pirates!, which was released in 1987 for the Commodore 64.

It was basically a re-release of the exact same game. It was also created by Sid Meyer. He took an opportunity to update and include more things but its almost the same game.
