DEEP SUBMISSIONS

Looking for more subaquatic adventures? These try out the following nautical niceties

SILENT SERVICE

Perhaps the most well-known submarine game out there is Microsoft’s 1985 simulation of a US Navy vessel in the World War 2 battle of Pearl Harbour. Released for no less than 15 different formats, the game was created by the legendary Sid Meier of Civilization fame.

THE RED HUNT OCTOBER FOR

the game of the sean connery film of the same name, which was itself based on a novel by tom clancy, The Hunt For Red October is set over five levels of arcade-style action. Although grandslam’s game is clearly submarine-based there are also non-aquatic sections too.

IN THE HUNT

originally released in the arcades by irem in 1993, In The Hunt is best known for its highlysought-after playstation and sega saturn conversions. Although it’s a pretty standard horizontally scrolling shoot-’em-up for the most part, the oceanic setting and visual style really sets the game apart.

TURBO SUB

And now for something a bit more outlandish! Based on an obscure arcade game of the same name, this Atari Lynx title from 1991 has more in common with sega’s classic Space Harrier than other games on this list. in Turbo Sub, you not only dive beneath the waves, but also get to fly above them!
