Remakes
The game was released with minor improvements and better graphics for Windows 3.1, DOS, Macintosh, and Sega Genesis in 1993 as Pirates! Gold. It was also released on CD for the Amiga CD32 in 1994 with enhanced CD audio tracks. The PC versions features a MIDI score and mouse support. They also contained a copy protection scheme requiring the player to identify the flag of a pirate ship sighted on the horizon (similar to the 1987 Atari port). Sea and sea-to-land combat were played in real-time while land battles were done in turn-based strategy. Sun sighting was not present in this version, and there were no special items. The game did, however, include several new features.
In 2004, it was converted into an enhanced remake as Sid Meier's Pirates! for Microsoft Windows, Xbox, Wii and PlayStation Portable.
Sid Meier's Pirates! Mobile was developed by Oasys Mobile in 2008. In 2011, the game was released for Apple's iPad and on April 9, 2012, it was released on Windows Phone 7.

Famous quotes containing the word remakes:
“With spring the father-sky remakes the world:
The male shower has flowed into the bride,
Earth’s body; then shifted through sky and sea and land
To touch the quickening child in her deep side.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
