688 Attack Sub	Sega	1991	Take command of the Los Angeles, a powerful 688 SSN nuclear attack sub. Your top-secret mission: destroy a soviet [i]Typhoon[/i]-class missile sub. At periscope depth you scan a peaceful surface sea at merchant ships. You order a diver to 150 feet, activate the HUD (heads-up display) and search the 3-D contour map for the boomer. Sonar reports two submerged contacts at bearing 350°. You load wire-guided torpedoes and hide under an ocean thermal layer...waiting. Navigation orders a waypoint maneuver to intercept the contacts. You creep through the water to avoid making noise. Suddenly an active sonar ping vibrates throught the hull. You, too, are being hunted! Your towed-array listening devices and audio analysis ID the target - a Soviet [i]Alfa[/i]-class attack sub at 9.8 miles. You lock-on and launch a Mark 48 torpedo, then order a hard turn to keep him out of your battles. You wait. It'll take minutes for sonar to confirm the kill. You sweat out of time, hoping you and your crew makes it through this dedaly mission alive...and that your Mark 48 sends the enemy to crush depth - and a watery grave.***Command either an American or Russian nuclear attack submarine in various Cold War missions around the world. A better-than-average submarine simulation that was much ballyhooed in its day, but shows its age now. English with Russian on some instrument consoles. - from Genesis Collective (see links)	Mega Drive

[Ritchardo]* [137]* [133]* [39]* [25]***This game was a conversion of the Spectrum version by S.R. Mansfield published by Temptation Software. I did the conversion for the Amstrad CPC464 when I received a prototype from Amstrad 6 months prior to its launch. The conversion that I did was included in the 12 pack of games that came with each CPC464 and published under the Amsoft label. Unfortunately I had to return the prototype CPC464 under the terms of the non disclosure contract, what a piece of retro history that would be!!! [Neil Streeter]	Amstrad CPC

ADS: Advanced Destroyer Simulator	Futura	1990	[52]***A.D.S. recalls the main naval engagements of World War II during which the DESTROYERS of the Royal Navy played a major part. The missions you will have to carry out will take place: 1 - In the Mediterranean, from the allied base at Malta located in a zone occupied by the opposing forces. 2 - In the English Channel, from the allied bases: you must evacuate allied forces gathered in Dunkirk. 3 - In the North Sea, your mission is to sink the non-alliedvessels which are hiding in the NORWEGIAN FJORDS. Sole master on board, you will have to manoeuvre to perfection to avoid sinking. Every fire and piloting post of a DESTROYER is reproduced in A.D.S. so it is up to you to make the best use of them when the situation calls for it. To fight the opposition, you can chose between 18 available missions already set with each time a precise target or with a DELTA mission: in which you are the one to chose your target in an environment and date which differs each time. The Admiralty and Admiral Walkirie are always on your side to report any ships spotted by the R.A.F. You have the possibility to alter the intensity of realism given by the simulation, so that younger players may also enjoy A.D.S. We advise other players not to change the parameters so they can experience the true sensations of the simulation.	MS-DOS

Armada	Atari (Turcan Research Systems)	1989	The full story of the Spanish Armada is a fascinating piece of history. Starting as a great adventure it ended as a human tragedy on a massive scale. This simulation attempts to capture five days of the Armada's journey, the five days it took for the huge fleet to make its way from south of Plymouth to the Isle of Wight. The Armada was a very real invasion threat to England, but the clash of politics, religion, intrigue and misunderstanding was also very real. The Battle of The Armada offers you the chance to take the helm as Lord Howard, defending the English coastline against the attacking Spaniards, or even rewrite history by leading the invasion fleet against the likes of Howard, Drake, and Frobisher.* [22]* [52]* [37]*This game was re-released -together with "Gettysburg"- in the "Turning Points" Compilation (1994, CCS Ltd. & On-Line Entertainment). Interestingly the Atari-ST version of this Compilation does not include the game "Waterloo" - the MS-DOS Compilation did!	Atari ST

Battleship	author	2009	Like the familiar battleship with a key difference and some variation. Misses send out horizontal and vertical waves and may provide feedback. No return waves means the column and the row of the miss are completely devoid of ships. A single return wave means either the column or the row of the miss contains a ship. A double return wave means there are two ships among the column and/or the row of the miss. The feedback from unknown squares gives the game a black box element beyond the more familiar battleship game style. The human player can see the waves of the computer's misses. By default, each layer has only two ships and each ship uses a single square. Grid size and number of ships is configurable and the possible number of feedback waves obviously increases beyond a maximum of two if more than two ships are played.	Linux
