Age of Pirates: Captain Blood
Captain Blood (formerly known as Age of Pirates: Captain Blood), known in Russia as Приключения капитана Блада (literally "The Adventures of Captain Blood"), is an action-adventure game based on the novels by Rafael Sabatini about the titular Captain Blood. The player will assume the role of the Captain, following his adventures in 1685 Spanish Main. This game has been recently rated by the PEGI rating board and is being released by 1C.
Gameplay
Captain Blood is a pirate-themed Hack and slash action game that will feature a mission-based structure, allowing players to fight on both land and sea against hordes of enemies, with ship-to-ship battles and sword fights to gain control of invaded ships. Gamers gain special points as they defeat enemies, acquiring new fighting techniques and gold for weapons and equipment.
The game was set to be released in 2006 on the Xbox, but was subsequently moved to the current generation of consoles.

Captain Blood (video game)
Captain Blood (L’Arche du Captain Blood in France) is the name of a French video game from 1988 made by ERE Informatique (soon relabeled with their short-lived Exxos label) and released by Infogrames. It was later re-released in the UK by Players Premier Software. The title tune is a stripped down version of "Ethnicolor" by Jean Michel Jarre.
Development
Captain Blood was developed jointly by Didier Bouchon and Philippe Ulrich, both contributing design and scenario, and Bouchon graphics and programming for the Atari ST version. Bouchon originally designed covers for ERE informatique's Gazoline Software label, but he learned to program in assembler for the Atari ST after Ulrich provided him with one. Bouchon then created fractal-generated realtime graphics that inspired both to do a sci-fi inspired video game.
After ERE's absorption by Infogrames in summer of 1987 (partly justified by preliminary versions of Captain Blood), Ulrich and Bouchon isolated themselves in the Landes in order to have the game ready for Christmas. Many adaptations for both 16-bit and 8-bit machines were developed in successive months, although they were straight ports of the original Atari ST version in graphics, sound effects or music, and therefore follow the limitations of that machine.

Captain Blood
by: Chunk! No, Captain Chunk!All aboard, just say goodbye, raise your sword, you are gonna die!
Ride the waves with your boat, and pull up your anchor.
This wind leads us to shore
But there is nothing to explore.
On the deck from side to side, pull up the black flag,
Come on, let’s take control.
Time to kill, to steal and to roll.
Time for me to set things straight!
For the mistakes we made!
The ocean will be afraid!
Of our mad crusade!
Ship to shore!
We are the ocean’s criminals, pirates that will kill you all.
Fear is what we provide now.
The wind is on our side.
So you would better run away.
You know you are sinking much further as you swim,
We are not in the world where you live in.
You will give it up,
If you are not on our side, so…
Tell me what you decide!
Oh! We are not here to stay we are here to strike you today!
Your fall will be so hard that you would better run away!
We are the ocean’s criminals, pirates that will kill you all.
Fear is what we provide now.
The wind is on our side.
So you’d better run away.
Ship to shore, we will find your treasure! Close your door!
This is war, and this is nothing more than the way we are!
Just say goodbye…
My friends!
On the horizon a merchant ship in sight,
And the crew makes ready to board and fight.
Sail the seas for eternity!
We are the ocean’s criminals, pirates that will kill you all.
Fear is what we provide now.
The wind is on our side.
So you’d better run away.
Ship to shore, we will find your treasure! Close your door!
This is war, and there is nowhere to hide.
