Sea Dogs is a 2000 Russian role-playing video game for Microsoft Windows, developed by Akella and published by 1C Company in Russia, and later by Bethesda Softworks in USA. 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.

Music

For the original Russian game, this is the most famous and memorable orchestral soundtrack. The famous film composer Yuri Poteenko had a hand in writing the music, and the Russian Philharmonic performed it.

The only exception is the "Pirate Town" theme, which was written on a music sequencer, compared to the rest of the tracks.
