This was one of my favourite games in the 70s! Thanks for posting!

Same here. 13 in the summer of 77.

I first saw this game on an IBM computer with a monotone green monitor. Awesome.

[@chrisnizer1885]

I love this game. It's one of the first one's I loaded onto the Super Retro-cade when I got it and I've been playing it nearly everyday since. All these classics from the 70s are a blast. Thanks and keep the classic games coming!

Playing a lot of old games... more into 1980 now, but stopped producing videos for each game.

This was maybe the first arcade game I saw in a bar when I was a child. Time has passed, but passion is not changed at all 🙂

[@vghchannel]

Mesmerizing for its time. Will always have a soft spot for these early games... they were just such a part of my childhood

[@vitorsilva4075]

Thank you, I was trying to find this game, I think it is a good example of use of limited resources that still result in a fun little, replayable game! Best wishes from Portugal!

[@vghchannel]

Well thanks for writing from Portugal. I agree, not a bad game considering what was available at the time. I do prefer Sea Wolf I & II though... they really nailed an action game with this submarine theme thing.

[@JakeLo1991]

This video game should be called Moving Target.

[@vghchannel]

Nice. Or maybe, "Drop & Pray" as its really hard to accurately predict since it takes so long.

[@MrJuvefrank]

I haven't been able to play this game since 1988.I sure miss the good old days when you could go to an arcade, play this video game and not have to worry about people crashing into your car because they were screwing around with a cell phone instead of watching the road.

[@vghchannel]

You mean... you liked it better when video games were an event, instead of a distraction? :-)

[@MrJuvefrank]

That's part of it.

[@carminesommella6180]

MrJuvefrank Great Game my Favorite👍

[@MrJuvefrank]

Thankyou, Carmine.

@1:30 "the things you drop in the water...whatever you call them..." Um, hint: It's the name of the game... LOL

[@vghchannel]

Hahaha... uhm, yeah. I decided I don't like trying to talk and play at the same time because my brain does that. I couldn't think of the darn word.

[@ScorpioBornIn69]

In real life they're called 'depth charges,' when they reach that certain depth in the water is when the water pressure causes them to ignite.

[@mggilbert425]

Thanks for the flashback. : )

[@vghchannel]

You bet. Hopefully will eventually get all sorts of flashback moments on here, for many people.

[@Hchris101]

Very cool

[@georgeshelton6281]

This was one of the best ones. It's really funny when the submarines are trying to sink your battleship, while you're throwing in your depth charges. The ones on the bottom of the ocean floor are the most harder ones to nail. Even though they move much slower. 💅 😪 😒 😫 😤 😕 💅

[@ScorpioBornIn69]

I remember this game, played it once when I was at a mall where they several video games and this was one of them. This when I was 7 or 8 years of age.

[@CMONCMON007]

I remember sitting on my mums lap as a small baby and playing this game on her work computer which was only a green screen💑

[@vghchannel]

Cool. Do you know what computer she had? This game had home versions all over... like the Apple II might've been the computer you played it on: kzbin.info/www/bejne/poO9Yn9uiJeZi9U

[@mosesberkowitz3298]

good video, but I wish you could have put in about 30 seconds of "quiet time" (no talking) to let us hear those cool and spooky sound effects. Thanks for posting!

[@bongxima]

Didn't "kill" enough subs to score that one.

[@stevesloan7132]

Heintz, load all torpedo tubes. Get ze Americanishen Liberty Ship. Zink ze Yankee Cruizer! Torpedo loase!

[@vghchannel]

Power of the mind, yeah!

[@djrkcryt2568]

Does anyone else get a creepy vibe when playing this or am i the only one?

[@robertadamus1883]

[@vghchannel]
