** In the member's world is Brimhaven on the north end of Karamja as a firm example of Type 1.
** The Cabin Fever quest gives access to Mos Le'Harmless ([[Punny Name|pun]] [[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy|intended]]), a whole ''island'' populated by pirates.

* ''[[EverQuest]] 1'' has the entire ''Legacy of Ykesha'' expansion. All the zones in that expansion are located on an island called Brokenskull Rock, and Brokenskull Rock swarms with pirates. One of the zones is called Dulak's Harbor.
* Smuggler's Cove in the computer game ''I Spy: Treasure Hunt'', especially in the past, but even in the present day, most townspeople seem obsessed with pirates and the sea.
