Did anyone try this golden oldie? The art seems a bit lacking, but I have heard some gamers calling it the best pirate game ever.

I'm ashamed to admit I've never even heard of it. Is a copy available for download anywhere? If not, any chance you could tell us a little bit more about it?
Swashbucklering is one of my favourite storytelling styles, and I always assume pirate-centric games make at least a half-hearted nod towards emulating that; I'd be interested in hearing how this game does, if it does.

Indeed! Omnibus...
I've not played Crimson Cutlass, but I've played a few of the other games in this series. Well, the versions that were originally released in the Space Gamer ( https://spacegamer.com/default.aspx )
magazines anyway. I remember thinking that it wasn't very complete, but that the underlying systems had some some interesting ideas. I wish I could tell you more, but it's been far too long since I gave it a go and I just can't remember any of the finer details.
I'm getting a hard copy. I'll probably have some initial thoughts over the weekend. Stay tuned....
There is a Youtube channel that covers the various games in the Better Games lineup, including Crimson Cutlass. It can be found here;

Interesting! Still waiting for my own copy, but I'll check that out..
Thank you for bringing this game to my attention. I will be buying the Omnibus soon.
