The well known Russian company <A HREF="http://www.akella.com">Akella</a> <A HREF="http://en.akella.com/News.aspx?id=441">announced</a> today that it will publish <A HREF="http://www.seaward.ru/">Seaward.ru</a>'s new game titled <em>City of Abandoned Ships</em>. Calling it an RPG may be a stretch, but who knows. Apart from the obvious sword dueling and naval combat, the game is supposed to contain historical characters and quests based around actual events, permitting the player to serve as an "official" captain of one of the main navies in the area or to plunder the Caribbean as a buccaneer.
<br>
<br>
From the <A HREF="http://en.akella.com/News.aspx?id=441">announcement</a>:
<br>
<blockquote>
<br>
# Vast array of land-based locations, from dense South American jungle to dark Caribbean cave complexes.
<br>
# Experience mirrored missions for different states - defend a Spanish territory in one instance and orchestrate a ruthless attack in another.
<br>
# Unique P.I.R.A.T.E.S system of character progression: Power, Impression, Reaction, Authority, Talent, Endurance and Success.
<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
Noticing the "cave complexes" and how "the dead do not sleep easy and in the dark South American jungles myth and reality intertwine", my bet is on some serious supernatural Aztec dungeon crawling.

Those commies sure love their pirate games. I wonder if that has anything to do with how common pirated games are behind the iron curtain? Or is it a reaction against rampant capitalism? Many questions, few answers. Either way,here are some screens from the game.

Perhaps they'll get this one right and not release a bug infested beta version that the community has to fix, but I doubt it.

They love their pirate games and they love to pirate games. Coincidence?

I bet the pirated pirate games had anti-pirating mechanix before they were pirated.

In Soviet Russia, Piracy was a problem thousands of years before the Spanish began to bring gold, silver, and other treasures from the New World back to Spain. Men sailed the seas as pirates when countries began to cross the Oceans and Seas to trade goods with each other. There were powerful pirates that sailed the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas. These pirates set up a large pirate nation in Cilicia. Cilicia is now part of the country of Turkey. Barbary corsairs controlled the western part of the Mediterranean. Vikings were brave and strong pirates. They sailed all over the Atlantic Ocean, but especially terrorized the European coastlines. Piracy was also active in the waters surrounding Asia. As ships were built bigger and better and men became braver, piracy began to spread into the New World!
