That game was the sequal to Sea Dogs. Disney got a hold of it and slapped the movie name on it even though it had nothing to do with the movie.
This Pirates! is the true update/sequal to Sid Meier's Pirates!, which was first published by Microprose back in 87 for all major home computers.

I remember an old Pirate game for the original Nintendo (I think it was called Pirates) that I played the hell out of back the 90's.

Ultra Games, a subdivision of Konami, bought the rights from Microprose to publish an NES version of Pirates! around 1991. There was also Pirates! Gold for the PC and Sega Genesis a few years later. That was essentially the same game as the original with some graphical updates.
