IntellivisionMaster Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 I haven’t played this game in roughly 40 years. I didn’t like it back then, and still don’t I also cannot find my overlay! I’m guessing on every button! Level 1: 11 x1 = 11 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntyFanMatt Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 This is really a great game once you get to understand it and the controls. Such a smart game to develop way back in the day, I think it’s ahead of its time. I’ll try to play a little bit this weekend. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfy62 Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 (edited) So far,this game is super frustrating for me. I can't steer my Subs almost at all on the main screen,and they end up at the bottom of the screen. I can't turn my sonar off at all,so I will try a different controller for that. Level 1 : 26 My bad,it was the controller. Loose connection problem solved. Edited October 29, 2022 by wolfy62 Added content 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntellivisionMaster Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Really Nice Wolfy !!! You almost got an all-clear! Amazing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntyFanMatt Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 (edited) Absolutely brilliant video game! I forgot how fun it is. Once you understand all the instructions and the controls, it is such an immersive sub game. Amazing AI, strategy, and tension, especially when you dive all the way down and pray you don’t get blown up by their depth charges. And the old school animation of the ships sinking is very cool. This is easily in my top 10 on the system. Love it! Level 3 All Clear - 36 x 3 = 108 Edited October 30, 2022 by IntyFanMatt 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Level 3 x 39 = 117 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manual says when you sink 36 it’s all clear. Never saw 39…how is this? Update: did you allow some of the ships to get to the convoy and then you destroyed more in that convoy? Is that how you got 39?

mr_me Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Yup, there are three ships in the north harbour for a total of 39. It's possible to sink 38 ships and lose the game. It's also possible to win with sinking only 22 ships. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntellivisionMaster Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 (edited) Ok first time playing level 2. I see the action speeds up and the controls I’m using have to compensate for that! I would have liked the game better way back when, if I had tried level 2. I found the game a little sluggish only using level 1. Ok! Now I’m seeing value in this game! That was actually kinda fun and satisfying! Level 2 36 x 2 = 72 Edited October 31, 2022 by IntellivisionMaster 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfy62 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Level 2 2x35= 70 I had one healthy sub left versus 1 enemy ship. I figured "I got this,no problem!". I lost,and barely missed all clear. My hope is to get a 36 on level 2,and see how deep I can get on level 3. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_me Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 It's an Android phone. Using the touchscreen as a controller, those graphics are the controller. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
