Reception

Adam Pavlacka reviewed the PC version of the game for Next Generation, rating it one star out of five, and stated that "If a little more work had gone into polishing the gameplay, this could have been a real gem. As it is, it's a lump of coal."[1]

Corsairs generally received mediocre reviews, and was released in few countries. It was often deemed as being buggy and having outdated sound and graphics,[2] but praised for having a decent storyline and being creative.[3] The game has limited ability to run on Windows 2000 and newer Windows operating systems, even with compatibility modes.
