Pirating is an AdvSys text adventure game and is © 1993 by Erica Sadun. This game was bundled with the author's much larger game, The Sound of One Hand Clapping.
In this short intro to a game that was never released, you play as an over-age, out-of-condition pirate. A new adventure awaits you, but before you can leave your room in the Pirate Guildhouse, you must be properly attired!
This solution is by David Welbourn, and is based on Version 1 of the game.

This walkthrough is provided free of charge since I wrote this walkthrough prior to January 2015 when I began my Patreon account, and also because the work it's based on has less than fifteen locations (so I wouldn't have charged for it anyway). I've since reformatted this walkthrough to use my currently preferred style. I hope you enjoy it!
I'm still creating new walkthroughs! Larger ones too! Please visit my Patreon account if you're interested in helping me create more interactive fiction walkthroughs. I appreciate all the help I can get! Thanks again.
