Pirate Treasure was yet another simple kid's game from the child-loving company Moppet Video, who made a business out of smaller, simpler arcade games aimed at the really young crowd. It plays almost like a palette swap of Leprechaun/Pot of Gold, with similar treasure hunting/chase mechanics. You have to get to the treasure island and not get hit by various infamous pirates such as blackbeard and captain hook, though all of them have the exact same ship, all while gaining points through running over the islands, which can be then transformed into killer volcanos by the pirates. If you hit a volcano, you sink, and so the game goes. Though the volcanoes make the game a bit more interesting than Leprechaun/Pot of Gold, Pirate Treasure very quickly gets mundane, though for a moppet audience it might've been just right. The graphics also fail to excite, and the sound is just sort of there.
