Sea Dogs (Russian: Корсары: Проклятье дальних морей, romanized: Korsary: Proklyat'ye dal'nikh morey, lit. 'Corsairs: Curse of the Distant Seas') is a 2000 Russian role-playing video game for Microsoft Windows, developed by Akella and published by Bethesda Softworks. In it, the player is the captain of a ship and can serve as a privateer to a European power, or as a pirate. The game uses a custom 3D game engine and includes gameplay similar to Sid Meier's Pirates!, while also being a true inter-character dialog-centered RPG.
The game is often credited as one of the first successful Russian games, which had a notable influence on Russian game industry.[2] It was followed by four sequels, one of which was tied in to Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.
