Pirates! Gold is a 1993 computer game, a remake to Sid Meier's 1987 release, Sid Meier's Pirates!. MicroProse developed this 256-color version for MS-DOS, Macintosh, Mega Drive/Genesis, Amiga CD32 and Windows 3.x featuring a MIDI score and mouse support (in MS-DOS and Windows versions).
The PC versions 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, land, and sea-to-land combat were done in real-time strategy. Sun sighting was not present in this version, and there were no special items. The game did, however, include several new features.
