Det er den tyske utvikleren SPIRIT, som i dag annonserer sitt nye Pirat-Arcade-Action spill Voodoo Islands. Her skal du føre din stolte skute gjennom farefulle farvann, som bl.a. byr på heftige kamper mot onde kannibaler, fiendtlige pirater og de allestedsnærværende Conquistadorene. Så går du med en aldri så liten sjøulk i magen, men blir fort sjøsyk, har du helt klart noe å glede deg til.

You will engage enemies who are capable of intelligent manoeuvres and attack variants, Captains who will take your experience into account and attack accordingly. If victorious in battle, you then take control of your boarding parties to direct their booty burying progress, but make haste, for failure will see you hanging from the yardarm.
