Cybergoth Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 Hi there! I'm trying to compile a list of games where a submarine is controled by the player. So far I have: Air-Sea Battle Bermuda Triangle Marine Wars Polaris Seaquest Submarine Commander Are there more? Greetings, Manuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gateway Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 Save The Whales? Does Sea Battle involve Subs? I ordered it from AA but haven't received my package yet. Probably will get it tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 There exists a pirate of M.A.S.H where the helicopters have been replaced by submarines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 If hacks are included don't forget Yellow Submarine: http://www.atariage.com/hack_page.html?Sys...ftwareHackID=45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted December 27, 2003 Author Share Posted December 27, 2003 Hi there! Thanks for the suggestions! I think Save the Whales qualifies. I'm not sure about Sea Battle. Most screenshots here in the database seem just to display some random PF garbage. On the bottom one there's both a destroyer and a sub, but it's hard to tell which is player controled... Is there a DB entry for the MASH pirate? If hacks are included don't forget Yellow Submarine:http://www.atariage.com/hack_page.html?SystemID=2600&SoftwareHackID=45 Hehe cool. I really wonder how well the VCS can perform "Yellow Submarine"... Would make a nice title tune for, let's say a port of Sea Wolf 2... :wink: Greetings, Manuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 Is there a DB entry for the MASH pirate? I don't think so, but I can send you the binary if you want it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted December 27, 2003 Author Share Posted December 27, 2003 Hi there! Is there a DB entry for the MASH pirate? I don't think so, but I can send you the binary if you want it. I just checked out MASH again and I don't think I'll need it. But thanks for the offer! Just realized that even though Marine Wars somewhat mimics the gameplay of Sea Wolf, it is A) no submarine but a warship you control here and B) it plays more like a poor Space Invaders clone... Submarine Commander also seems to suck (or I don't get part of it...) as well as the sub parts of Air Sea Battle, so my list of acceptable submarine games is almost down to Seaquest, Polaris and Bermuda Triangle, with Seaquest being the only real qualitiy title of the bunch, right?

Thomas Jentzsch Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 with Seaquest being the only real qualitiy title of the bunch, right? IMO Polaris is also quite good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted December 27, 2003 Author Share Posted December 27, 2003 Hi there! with Seaquest being the only real qualitiy title of the bunch, right? IMO Polaris is also quite good. I really like the first screen of Polaris. Except the end bit where you have to hit the plane to continue, it's really cool. The second screen I don't like at all. It starts with an already bad playable obstacle course that gets even worse once the moving barriers are introduced (second run onwards) ...

Rob Mitchell Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 That Depth Charge game at the end of Canyon Bomber is a great submarine warfare game .. although it does not fit into your criteria of sub control .. more like sink enemy subs.

Gateway Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 @Cybergoth: I got Sea Battle today and just tried it out. It has the map mode and Battle modes. The Battle Mode is closer to what you probably had in mind, since Submarines are one of four ships you can battle with. However, the sub moves along the surface of the water in Battle mode. Probably not what you are looking for. As a whole, the game itself isn't bad, IMO. I also got StarFire in the same order. Freakin' awesome!:eek: The emulators don't do it justice! The sound is also top notch! Weston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 Except the end bit where you have to hit the plane to continue, it's really cool. Actually that's the part I like most. Very unique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Duke Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 I own one of the few carts for Yellow Submarine. Its my favorite re-creation. If I had the ability to add the tune to it I would have. The color scheme is slightly different than the emulation version of it I believe, but I havent played it in a long time so I dont know.

candiru Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Don't forget Fantastic Voyage. That's not 'technically' a submarine, though... Sure it is, if I remember correctly it was originally designed for ocean research but then commandeered by the government. It's OK Inky you don't have to give up your never wrong status since it's a fictional submarine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
