Pirate's Plunder

Pirate's Plunder is a video game in the strategy genre developed by Dexterity Software and published by Dexterity Software originally released in 1995. It is currently playable on Windows 3.x.

Pirate's Plunder is a non-canonical mix of a memory game spiced with action elements. The main objective of the game is to collect the ten hidden treasures and survive the various dangers along the way.

Movement is tile-based and the player can only move one tile in any direction. Moving to a hidden tile may uncover a treasure, an enemy, various hazards, useful items or a blank space. Each time an enemy is discovered, a battle is automatically initiated and the player can only make use of the various weapons available at that time. The player can replenish weapons and repair the ship by taking supplies from nearby islands.

The memory game aspect comes into play thanks to 3 useful objects: the map that reveals the nearest treasure, the sextant that reveals nearby threats and the spyglass that uncovers a portion of 9x9 for a brief period. Memorizing these clues gives the player a superior advantage, as health pickups are limited.

Pirate's Plunder is part of a bundle of games called Fortune Pack. The pack includes four games: Fortune Raiders, Pirate's Plunder, Desert Curse and Cash Quest. Pirate's Plunder and Fortune Raiders were available as shareware games. Registration of the games gave the user access to the entire package.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
