Det råder något av en pirattrend bland spelutvecklare, där [[Sid Meier's Pirates!]] får sägas vara den titel som hittills fått mest uppmärksamhet. Den oberoende franska utvecklaren Widescreen Games tar i vår upp striden med Black Buccaneer, en äventyrsdoftande historia som beskrivs enligt följande:
"The story is set in the Caribbean of the sixteenth century. The young sailor Francis Blade is caught in a strong storm on his way to the new world which leaves him shipwrecked on the coast of an island. On the beach he finds a mysterious skull-amulet which grants him magic powers of the terrifying Black Buccaneer. With the help of these powers he finally finds out about a legendary pirate treasure!"
