About this game

688 Attack Sub is an early submarine simulation that emphasizes realism and tactical control. The game includes ten missions and lets players command both American and Soviet attack submarines.

Command Stations

Players can operate sonar, weapons, navigation, helm, radio, and periscope stations. Many duties may also be delegated to crew members, giving the simulation a balance between direct control and crew management.

Presentation

Most of the game is presented through close-up views of submarine control panels. Some situations feature digitized images of surface ships and crew. It was released for Amiga, DOS, PC-9800 Series, and Sega Mega Drive/Genesis systems.
