Memories. I played this (well, the original non-gold version) on the C64 back in the late 80s. I played this on my first PCs in the 90s. It is high up on every list of "fav games of all time" I ever made.
Other people, when you show them a map of the Caribbean, they think "holidays" or "fruity cocktails". Me, I am reminded of a brown-greenish parchment map that came with the C64 version of THIS game..

So buy this for a trip down memory lane.
However, don't buy this, if you've never played this before, because even though it is an absolutely fantastic game in terms of concept and execution, you will not like the way it looks and handles (also, the DOSBOX emultor may require some fiddling before the game runs properly on modern hardware).
By modern standards, this is likely to be frustrating. By my standards, it's one of the most gloriously delicious experiences to be had in front of a screen.
