Crash Dive - Sleeper Hit?

[Cybergoth]

Hi there!

 

Just find myself playing this more and more. A lot of variety in this one, even when the enemy sequences repeat over and over again. I think it has the coolest shark sprites of any 2600 game

 

BTW: Does it have any higher goal? I see that one gets a new treasure listed with every pass of the refueling submarine, and I managed to play until 2 "keys" where displayed in the treasure display.

 

Greetings,

Manuel

I've always loved crash dive, good, simple, fun gameplay. Though I must admit that the reason it originally made me get it was because of the 'godzilla like' sea monster on the ocean floor :-) But at least it had good enough gameplay to keep me involved afterwards.

Quick bit of triva:

 

Did you know that the original name for Crash Drive was Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea? It was originally supposed to be a game based off the Movie/TV Show of the same name.
