I would buy a good remake of the remake. The last Pirates! was fun, but the mini-games (sneaking into towns, swordfights, treasure search, and "tactical battles") weren't very good (IMO). The programming for those 3D elements felt very disjointed and clumsy. The overall campaign shell and the strategy/sailing map worked much better.
So yeah, I'd buy a new spruced-up version. For me, it would be fun even without full 3D tactical sail combat like Empire:TW. Although in the modern game market, that would probably be a requirement now.
