HSC Season 2 Week 31: Sea Wolf

[VectorGamer]

Sea Wolf

 

Players look through a periscope to aim at ships. A targeting cross-hair and the number of torpedos remaining are seen through the scope. When the player has launched five torpedos, a red "RELOAD" light comes on momentarily. These are not shown on the screen, but are back-lit transparencies reflected inside the scope. Likewise, when ships are hit on the screen, an explosion "light" is reflected inside the scope. Torpedos are fired by pressing a thumb-button on the right-hand periscope handle.

I remember this game very well. I loved the feel of gripping the steel periscope. It made it seem so realistic.

The audio effects were cool as well. I have many fond memories of playing this game back in the day...
