Corsarios description
A rather unusual old scroll-action, in which you will play as an unnamed hero battling with the horrible pirates (and not for the pirates themselves, despite the name, very sorry), consisting actually of two different games (officially the second will begin immediately after passing the first, but you can just start with it).

The first game – the battle with the pirates on the island. Our hero is single and does not have any weapons except their own hands and feet, while the pirates are armed with swords and even guns. You can win only by their own ingenuity and the fact that the reserve life and the impact force of our character is such that Hulk and Superman have to think. After killing all the pirates from the island, you can sail on the boat. Why all this happened and why is not explained. Maybe I something did not understand, but to me the first part seemed boring and uninteresting.
Starting position Fighting with the first opponent. You are falling off the edge to the ground full of Pirates. Three against one is not a problem for you.
The second part is much more complex and interesting. Here your character is on a pirate ship where the pirates holding captive the daughter of the Spanish Governor, and I want to feed her to the sharks (apparently the ransom not I guess). You need, breaking through the ranks of the pirates, for some time to find her and free her. Here everything is more realistic: you have a sword, but the life and the force of the blow is quite comparable with the similar indicators of the opponents, and the travel time is limited. I wonder what you'll have to fight mostly on the masts of the ship, alternately Stripping and tearing each pirate flag, for keeping the girl on the highest of them.
Title of the Second Phase
The graphics are a bit strange, the game is more like released in 1985 than in 1989. Perhaps so intended. In principle, coloured figures and poor environment on the black background look acceptable. But still for some reason (not necessarily because of the graphics) while playing have the feeling that there's something wrong. Not a bad thing, but somehow it brings a special joy, especially in the beginning.
The game can be recommended to fans of the old arcade games, without a doubt, but if you really want to have fun, better run, in my opinion, from the second episode.
