688 ATTACK SUB MEGADRIVE
688 ATTACK SUB MEGADRIVE
688 Attack Sub is a submarine simulator game designed by John W. Ratcliff and Paul Grace, published in 1989 for MS-DOS and in 1990 for Amiga by Electronic Arts. A Sega Genesis version was also released.
The player takes command of a US Los Angeles-class or Soviet Alfa-class nuclear-powered attack submarine and plays ten missions ranging from into either Cold War scenarios or combat missions in a hypothetical global conflict.
As modeled in the game, the American submarine has more sophisticated electronics and more weapons. The Soviet boat has fewer weapons but higher sustained speeds.
This was one of the earliest games that allowed two players to play against each other over a modem (or null modem cable),[citation needed] and one of the first to use more than 32 colors in MCGA mode.
Ratcliff and Grace later developed SSN-21 Seawolf, published in 1994.
