Description: It seems Mattel was trying to draw on the popularity of Sea Battle with this one. Nice try...it’s loosely-based on Sea Battle in that there is a strategy-type screen and a close-up battle screen. The strategy screen is about as exciting as waiting for John Hardie to respond to an email.

Santulli Slant: Lay silent, lay low. One of the coolest effects in videogame history and a signature of the Intellivision was the "shaking apart" screen, which is used to great effect here (also see Star Strike). If a depth charge explodes nearby, the entire video screen trembles. Get hit, and the whole thing goes cuckoo, baby! Excellent sim also has the distinction of playing the finest electronically-produced version of "Flight of the Valkyries" as a reward for wiping out the enemy fleet. Great game with the lights out.
