So please once again, is this a 60 Hz PAL import like Ogre Battle or a forced 50 Hz massacre like MUSHA? This is really the most relevant point for the PAL-audience when deciding whether or not to purchase this title!

Is this a 60 Hz import?

How about virtual console C= 64 or NES? The original C=64 Pirates! were ported to the NES, don't know if it was any good, though... And might be a problem to play the early versions (pre-GOLD) without a printed map.

Yeah, me too, as opposed to Sid Meier's Pirates! v. 2004 "Uncharted Waters : New Horizons" looks really interesting and "pirates!"-like. What a pity I've never played it!

"MicroProse released its original incarnation for the PC in 1987..."

• The game was originally made for C= 64 and then PORTED to the PC and Apple II...

Anyway, this 2004-remake is really terrible. Hope they could release a port of the original game or perhaps Pirates! Gold, any of those would be better than this 3D for the sake of 3D bs that the 2004-version is such a fine example of...

Excellent Work, Betagem 7!
So are the imports we get in 60 Hz e.g. Ogre Battle March of the black queen, in NTSC or PAL 60? I suppose converting games that were originally released in NTSC to PAL 60, would require some recoding, or am I wrong, folks?

Do I see a pattern forming here? Remember when we got Mario Kart Wii ahead of NA but had to wait for brawl. Maybe a vague attempt to even out all the inequalities ;>

Yay! Really looking forward to this masterpiece, as I'm sure it will turn out to be!!

Was just about to ask you to clarify, but you beat me to it
Personally i'll continue my current MD boycot, due to the 50/60 hz issue

Not much to envy this week... i guess

@ wmdwf
That's exactly the sort of template answer I had expected...
And I'm sure that every single customer e-mailing NoA about this will, get a duplicate of the reply you were given. That's the way these customer services work!
I consider this "myth" busted...
