Trying to identify a ZX81 game...

Post by Fwapp »

Hi Chaps - hope you can help me out.

I remember BITD playing a game on my Dad's ZX81 - but I cannot remember it's name!

I think it was a hi-res game, and involved trying to get your submarine from left to right (or top to bottom) whilst avoiding depth charges. Think that there may have been a boat as well?

Would really like to identify this game and perhaps show my Sons. It'll prove that Star Wars: Battlefront and Crysis 3 don't have the monopoly on excellent graphics :lol:

I have this game somewhere but all I can remember is that the submarine looked just like the one called Seaview in the 60's TV series Voyage to the bottom of the sea.

Excellent - at least it's not just my mind playing tricks on me courtesy of too much xmas cheese and beer!
