* The full day / night cycle and a variety of weather conditions affect sight and weapons. * Provides the tools for both stealth and offensive You decide how aggressive you want to be. * Smoothly combines a submarine simulator with arcade action. Sneak past the destroyers and torpedo the transporters, or emerge and fight with the underdogs in a duel with your deck cannon. Take command of a Gato-class submarine that roams the South Pacific to sink enemy ships. The prized targets were of course aircraft carriers and battleships (and, in very rare cases, super battleships), which once alerted would steam at full power, (30+ knots) making interception difficult.Crash Dive 2 The Silent Service - Hunt down enemy convoys, battle destroyers, attack land bases and shoot down planes in this long-awaited sequel to the bestseller "Crash Dive". Other encounters would generate a surprise detection by the enemy, with little options available other than a quick dive and evasion. Some encounters would allow the player to shadow convoys, attacking at night, or from a forward position. Career games would involve multiple patrols. The length of each patrol was limited by the boat's available fuel. Views of each encounter were available from the submarine's perspective (periscope, deck). The boat was then moved at express time through the ocean, until a random encounter was generated. A home port was chosen by the player, then a patrol zone. A map of the entire Pacific Ocean showed available home ports, and the friendly status of all major cities. The latter was where the best game play occurred, with a typical career taking many hours to complete. Players could choose either single scenarios or a war career. It was a World War II video game sequel to Silent Service.ĭespite having graphics which are very primitive by today’s standards (the package proudly proclaims it to be the first simulation with 256 color graphics), the actual game play was very realistic and addictive.
