Remember my review of the excellent Tradewinds 2 for the iPhone? Well, in it I mentioned that the game is a port of a PC game … and today (September 25th) only, Amazon has the original for $0.98!

The game is loads of fun, here is a snip from the 2005 GameSpot review:

Tradewinds 2 is a whimsical take on the life of a privateer who sails the high seas, trades broadsides with pirates, and makes friends and foes in the Caribbean at the turn of the 18th century. The game is quite simple to play, and it’s easy both to buy low and sell high throughout the Caribbean isles, as well as to sink opposing ships seeking to do you in. Despite the relative lack of challenge and a fairly plain, cartoonish presentation, Tradewinds 2 succeeds at being surprisingly fun and addictive. Clearly inspired by the classic Sid Meier’s Pirates!, Tradewinds 2 is briskly paced and delivers the satisfaction of the process of earning enough money to afford bigger, better stuff.
