Pirates of The Caribbean - Adaptations

Adaptations

Several additional works have been inspired by the original attraction:

  • In 2000, Pirates of the Caribbean: Battle for Buccaneer Gold, opened at DisneyQuest at Florida's Walt Disney World Resort. The attraction allows up to five players to board a virtual pirate ship and attempt to sink other ships with water cannons.
  • Ron Gilbert often has said that the Monkey Island computer game series was the inspiration for Pirates of the Caribbean (especially upon seeing the second movie), although he has said that he mainly got his inspiration from Tim Powers' book On Stranger Tides (which later inspired the fourth film in the franchise). Within both the film and the Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge adventure game is a key-carrying dog named Walt, whose name is a nod to Walt Disney and whose appearance is based on the jail scene from the rides.
  • A Pirates of the Caribbean board game Monopoly is manufactured by USAopoly.
  • A Pirates of the Caribbean version of the board game The Game of Life was developed.
  • A Pirates of the Caribbean version of the board game Battleship is produced by Hasbro under the title of Battleship Command.
  • Pirates of the Caribbean was the name of a team participating in the 2005–2006 Volvo Ocean Race. Their boat was named the "Black Pearl."
  • A Pirates of the Caribbean multiplayer online game was released by Disney on Oct. 31, 2007.
