- When Microprose greenlit Sid Meier's Pirates!
- in 1986, the company—which Meier founded along with Bill Stealey back in 1982—was mostly known for vehicle sims (Gunship, Spitfire Ace, F-15 Strike Eagle) and dry strategic wargames like Crusade in Europe.
- It's hard to pin it down to a genre even today, but it certainly wasn't like previous Meier titles—even though it's the first game to be called Sid Meier's Something or Other.
