5DiceCorsair 1.1.5 at http://www.pdatopsoft.com/software/item.php?pid=3215&

5DiceCorsair is inspired by the old dice game Generala (or General) played in
bars, clubs, and ports of Puerto Rico and the whole Carribean!

The objective of the game is to roll the five dice and choose the hand category
(e.g. three of a kind, 1's, 2's etc.) that will yield you the most points.
Each of the fifteen possible hands can only be used once. The game is over
when all fifteen categories have been used.

Stunning high-resolution graphics,
cool pirate sounds, up to 4 players and original new rules will make your fun guaranteed!

This sounds like a shameless advertising plug by the author of the game (ie. sent in as anonymous).

Perhaps the game "Yahtzee" would be a hell of a lot more familiar than what is purported to be "... the old dice game ... played in .... Puerto Rico..."

Pheh

Additional note:
Here are some freeware Yahtzee apps/ Though it isn't high res or colour, but plays the same as Yahtzee.
