About this game

Dead in the Water is a powerboat racing game released for PlayStation on March 19, 1999. It offers 14 boats and nine courses, each featuring distinct obstacles, conditions, and jumps.

Races combine speed with tactical competition. Winning races allows you to upgrade weapons, while Battle Mode challenges you to destroy every opponent. Realistic water physics affect play as swells launch boats into the air, currents alter speed, and hard landings can submerge a boat and cause major slowdown.

Developed by Player 1 and published by ASC Games, the game blends racing and adventure elements.
