It seems you are trying to run the game in plain Windows. I strongly suggest you use DosBox instead.
You can download it here.

Didn't know there was an arcade version? If you did manage to download it then as the 5th. Horseman said you'll have to play it in DOSBox, especially if your present OS is XP !

great game, but your crew starts to desert far too fast, too few opportunities to realy gain the fabulous wealth, before you realy get anywhere you're retiring

No offense, but might that be a problem with the way you're playing the game rather than the game design?

It is a great game...however I am having some problems with it. It worked fine when I was using Win98 with DOS6.2. But ever since I had to switch to XP on my new computer the game doesn't start. Oh! I do use the latest DOSBox but for some unknown reason the game doesn't start says no SPR etc found, althought the directory shows SPR and SPR16 subdirectories. Have tried everything possible. I miss playing it it's far better than the new Sid Meier's Pirates :angry: :wallbash:

The game was already in my oldgames directory, I don't understand by extracting it first then used DOSBox? All the other games work fine!

PEACE!

I just saw Pirates of the Caribbean III: At World's End and guess what?!?!

In the scene when all the pirate lords raise their flags you can recognise the flags!!! They are in fact all taken from this very game (the manual is B/W only, but in game you also see the colors).

Is this coinsidence?
Were the flags really taken from this game?
or
Are those acctual historical pirate flags that were used both in the game and in the movie?
