I think I'm supposed to point out how ninjas are better than pirates, then recommend something like Ninja Gaiden.

Edit: Apologies, that wasn't helpful, it's just a reflex.
Well you've already mentioned Sid Meier's Pirates, so what about the Monkey Island series?

 

[Grayjack]

If you like JRPG's, I reccomend Skies of Arcadia.

 

[bloodmonkey]

you don't need a game, just go to Somalia and do the real thing

Sid's Pirates! is the best I've played. It's fun, simple, and awesome.

 

[Cpt_Oblivious]

ninjas are better than pirates

Pull the other one!

Try the Flash game Puzzle Pirate that's crazy fun.
Oh and if you can, get the Monkey Island games. They're brilliant. But they can sell for a lot on eBay. Not sure if there's a download on internet somewhere though.

dude... I have searched for the same thing... there are arent any good pirate games, or books. We can fix the book issue. But games... theres none I can find.

 

[More Fun To Compute]

Zack & Wiki, Monkey Island and Skies of Arcadia are all good games with a pirate theme. Not many games have actual piracy simulation gameplay but Mount & Blade is like Sid Meier's Pirates in some ways and is an excellent game.

there are arent any good pirate games

Why has no one heard of MONKEY ISLAND?? There's 4 of them!

 

[Eruedraith]

Skies of Arcadia gets my vote.

This. If you can, try and play the original and the remake.

It's a limited field, alas. If you're willing to put up with some bugs and a lack of polish, there is actually a very good Pirates of the Caribbean game. It's not based on any of the movies directly, only being linked by the presence of the Black Pearl. Decent story, and more realistic fighting/sailing than Sid's - different pistols have different power/reload, swords damage/speed/defense, ships of the same chassis have different stats depending who made it - English are faster, Spanish bigger cargo hold, etc. You can also change the size of the guns on your ship. It's deeper, if narrower than Sid's.

Just called "Pirates Of The Caribbean" cover art is as so:

PS1 game called OVERBOARD! was fun.

Was a good game if not a little difficult.

I think the first two are abandonware now. They are very easy to find regardless.

Sweet. I'm happy I still have my beautiful CD Copies, although original stuff can go for $100+ on the net.

I had that game.

It was quite a fun game.

I enjoyed it.

A very old PC game called Elder Scrolls Redguard where you play a pirate. In fact the Pirates of the Pirates Of The Caribbean game mentioned earlier was suppose to be it's sequel but was rebranded for the movie tie-in.

pvkii.com

Pirates of the Burning Sea is a pirate MMO but I haven't played it.

 

[Lopunny]

Skies of Arcadia gets my vote.

If you like JRPG's, I reccomend Skies of Arcadia.

Thirded, never played the remake on the gamecube, but it was probably the JRPG I enjoyed the most, took a LONG time for something better to come along...
