Friday’s Pirate Game: Pirates of Treasure Island


I'm going to miss this guy.

It’s (finally) Friday, which means Pirate Week is over. Hold back the tears though, because we have one last game to reveal. Ladies and Gentlemen, I present you with Pirates of Treasure Island.

Pirates of Treasure Island Puzzle games are great, but sometimes I wish they had a little more substance. Pirates of Treasure Island mixes a solid puzzle game with a pirate adventure, and throws in some great mini-games along the way. It’s a neat concept, and it’s executed in a very slick manner. A few of the challenges are quite tough, particularly the sword fighting, but it adds a lot of depth to the usual “match stuff” puzzle genre.

You can read more about Pirates of Treasure Island at its game information page or try it out by downloading the free demo.


I never want to see another pirate again…

Thursday’s Pirate Game: Pirate Poppers


Where's me washboard?

Another day, another pirate game. I don’t think I’ve ever used the word “pirate” so much in my entire life. Today’s game is “Pirate Poppers“, an action puzzle hybrid where you shoot coloured cannonballs at an oncoming chain of balls.

Pirate PoppersThere are some games that just scream “quality” as soon as you start playing them. Pirate Poppers is one of those games. Not only is a huge amount of fun to play, but it manages to work the pirate theme into an abstract game exceptionally well. The core gameplay is solid, and all of the little touches, like the treasure trove, add up to create a highly enjoyable experience.

You can read more about Pirate Poppers at its game information page or try it out by downloading the free demo.

Wednesday’s Pirate Game: Pirates of the Atlantic


Give me grog.

Today is day three of pirate week, which means it’s time for another pirate game. Today’s game is “Pirates of the Atlantic“, an action game where you shoot at invading pirates with your cannon.

Pirates of the AtlanticThere’s always something keeping a pirate from enjoying their hard-earned grog. In Pirates of the Atlantic, you have to protect your island fortress from invading pirate armies. That’s right, this is some serious pirate on pirate action. Armed with a cannon and a rather flimsy wooden shield, you must launch 42 pounds of iron shot at your enemies.

Tuesday’s Pirate Game: Pirates Plunder


Pirate 2.0: It's what the web was made for

Today’s pirate game is “Pirates Plunder“, a pirate themed slot machine game. I’m not sure if pirates played slot machines, but if they did I’m sure it would feature all of the ingredients contained within Pirates Plunder.

pp-frontpageAs far as pirate themed games go, Pirates Plunder is one of the strangest combinations I’ve seen. Thankfully it’s not just a slot machine with a few parrots and bottles of grog slapped on, and there are several piratey mini-games to liven things up.

You can read more about Pirates Plunder at its game information page or try it out by downloading the free demo.
