* A little know (and proabaly for the best) [[Full Motion Video|FMV]] Light Gun game called... ''Space Pirates''.
{{quote| [[Seanbaby|CHECK OUT HOW AWESOME I AM! CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS S** T?]]}}
* The Palm OS game ''[[wikipedia:Space Trader chr(28)Palm OSchr(29OS)|Space Trader]]'' has these in droves. The player can even become one, if they want, but it comes with some side effects (like losing 10% of your profits when you can no longer sell your goods in person).
* ''[[Star Trek Starfleet Command]]'' features occasional random encounters with the Orion Pirates, complete with [[Crowning Music of Awesome|awesome]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOSuFia9K2w pirate-y theme].
* Space pirates show up in ''[[Sword of the Stars]]'', where they are the bane of your merchant fleets. Oddly enough, these pirates will use ships and technologies belonging to a random faction used in the current game -- often factions you have yet to encounter -- and will show up in situations that make no sense at all, like the [[Hyperspace|nodespace]]-only using humans attacking your 'regular' FTL tarka or morrigi fleets, or having your hiver fleets (which use a planet-to-planet [[Portal Network]]) attacked in orbit of your own planet.

* ''[[Buck Godot: Zap Gun for Hire]]'' has "the [[Alliterative Name|Pistol Packin' Polaris Packrat]]"; also, one cyborg ex- asteroid pirate turned [[Space Marine]] sergeant, who became rather unpopular for the time (brief) he lived after this discovery. Also, that guy on the starpirates.net banner who boasted before Buck -- but he was bad.
* In ''[[Far From Home]]'', they capture the heroes of the [[Show Within a Show]].
* ''[[Quentyn Quinn, Space Ranger]]'' has his first encounter with pirates whose careers [[Mugging the Monster|gone messily wrong]]. And [http://www.rhjunior.com/QQSR/00013.html philosophizes about it here.]
