The Swashbuckling Escapism of ‘Sid Meier’s Pirates!’

AldenGames2025-07-033590

Sid Meier has one of the most recognizable names in the video game industry. But who is he beyond a name on a box, anyway?

A recent thread on Reddit asking the community about the first game they ever played gathered over 45,000 comments, with classic names like Tetris, Super Mario Bros., and Spyro topping the list. It got me thinking about which video games had the biggest impact on me as a kid. These days they’re a major part of my life, but it hasn’t always been that way. I was born in the mid-'90s, so I missed out on the earliest consoles, and after the loss of our beloved Gameboy Color (stolen in the prime of its life), the technological heart of my house became the family’s desktop computer.
