I'll agree that 80's copy protection schemes are back when the game
asks you for the 7th word on the 5th page of the manual.

Yes, I'm old and remember doing that. :)

Do you happen to know what month the Treasure Fleet arrives in Havana
in 1640 Mr. Incognito? And does it arrive early or late in the month?

Alright, ya lost me there dude.
If you're implying I'm someone posting under a different name, check
my post history. I don't hind under fake user names, I'm a loud and
proud ***.

Whoooossssshhh. It was the original Pirates IIRC

Doh... Sorry about that. Never played that one, and thanks for setting
me straight. I do remember one of the Star Wars games (X-Wing?) having
a weird squiggly word thing you had to translate. They kind of made it
like it was part of the game.
