Mighty Pirate was established in Norwich in 1990 by solo-developer James LaGrande.
Back then, the Norfolk radical freeware scene was booming, thanks in large part to the release of the PICO-8 home console. At the market on the weekend, James could be found swapping cartridges with fellow PICO-8 enthusiasts. Later, Mighty Pirate software was distributed on the now-defunct Norfolk Bulletin Board System (NoBBS), which abruptly shut down on the 1 January 2000.
Today, James continues to make games and other applications for the PICO-8. This page hosts both new releases as well as a collection of old Mighty Pirate software from the early 1990s.
All Mighty Pirate games are free, open source, and make no use of generative AI.
