Games with a aqua theme

[BSA Starfire]

Hi Folks!

 

I have noticed many of the games that I am enjoying the most have a water theme, so I looked through my collection to pick out all the titles that are based around the marine theme, Anyone add any others I can look out for, thought it may be fun to "Catch 'em all!".

 

Here's what I have:

 

Atlantis

Seaquest

Marine Wars

Crash Dive

Skin Diver

Frogger

Polaris

Airlock

Overkill(Sea Hawk)

River Raid

River Raid 2

Alien Brigade 7800(loose link but it does have that undersea level)

 

 

I have frogger 2 and bermuda triangle on there way in the mail too, looking forward to those.

 

So if you can think of any others and maybe add a comment on what the game involves and what you think of it go ahead.

 

Best regards,

Chris

Dolphin

Bermuda Triangle

Fathom

Shark Attack

Fishing Derby

Although most people here are anti-Froggo, I personally really like Sea Hunt, it's one of my favorite 2600 games.

Hey, you stole my answer!

 

But don't forget the homebrewed Seawolf.

Games with an Aqua Teen? How 'bout Insult Masta, or Save The Plantation? You are the Moon Master!

 

Seriously, though, I suppose you could count Cosmic Ark, as by extension, the ship did come from an underwater society. Is that too much of a stretch, though?

If you want to play a game with real depth...

 

(OH NO I DIT INT ! ! !

 

WWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ! ! ! )

 

..... play Fathom.

 

Fathom is not only a game that takes place under the water 50% of the time, it is also easily

on my top 5 atari 2600 game list.

 

Word.

<SNAP!> There's goes the rubber band. Yeah, that's too far of a stretch, I think.

 

And that makes me think - HERO??? As best as I can recall from playingn it, that game was underground.

California Games - surfing

Summer Games - swimming

Pitfall II - swimming

 

 

Vague aqua themes:

Kaboom! has water in the buckets

Fire Fighter fights fires with water

Robot Tank has rain

Enduro has rain

Smurfs: RIGC has a jump over a river

Pitfall has a jump over a lake

Frostbite has many jumps over water

 

 

 

 

 

Seawolf is currently my favorite 2600 aqua game.

NOW we're talking!!.Water games seem to be the coolest for any system,they're my favourite,especially the ones from IMAGIC and ACTIVISION!My favourite is FATHOM for the 2600,now if only i can find it for the CV!

Enduro has rain

No, it doesn't. Snow, night and fog, yes, but no rain -- at least not on the 2600 version, which is the only one I'm familiar with. Edited July 19, 2007 by A.J. Franzman

I wasn't aware the 2600 could run OS X.

ok, you got me, but a scan of the manual confirms that Enduro does have ice, which is frozen water. Does that count?

Like Elastic Man.

 

The background in PacMan is blue. Hey, wait a tick, that's it - it's not a poor conversion, it's an innovation, putting PacMan in a water world! I finally figured it out!

 

... or I could just drop a PacMan cart in a bucket of water...

Yes, I like this game too, one I had as a child, as long as you time your jump from the boat carefully in, no worries.

 

I going to look for Fathom and Dolphin next as they both sound cool.

Another I thought of that no one else has mentioned is Frostbite, another of my all time favourites.

I wish! My old G3 Imac barely could, glad when it packed up and we got this new Mac Mini!

 

Thanks for all the replies.

All the best!

Are you replying in a different topic than what you're reading? I don't see a connection. Nobody here said that it could.

 

You might as well have written, "I wasn't aware the PC Jr. could run Deep Blue", as that has a better connection to water-themed games.

I thought it was a funny joke, and I don't even use a Mac. The "aqua theme" was a codename for the user interface of Mac OS X.

Telepathy also has a water level.
