>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 4 16:56:13 2021 No.8203867 The C64 Pirates! is partially written in BASIC. It's used for the game algorithms while assembly routines are used for sound/graphics/disk access.

>>	Anonymous Tue Oct 5 12:50:08 2021 No.8206597 >>8203384 It can't be any worse than Microprose giving into 90s corporate political correctness and not allowing slavery in Colonization.
