Game Summary:
688 Attack Sub is a submarine simulator video game designed by John W. Ratcliff and Paul Grace and published in 1989 for MS-DOS and in 1990 for Amiga by Electronic Arts. A Sega Genesis version developed by MicroProse was released in 1991 by Sega.
The player takes command of a US Los Angeles-class or Soviet Alfa-class nuclear-powered attack submarine and plays ten missions ranging from into either Cold War scenarios or combat missions in a hypothetical global conflict. As modeled in the game, the American submarine has more sophisticated electronics and more weapons. The Soviet boat has fewer weapons but higher sustained speeds. Two people can play against each other over a modem (or null modem cable).
Ratcliff and Grace later developed SSN-21 Seawolf, published in 1994.
Description:
THE TARGET THINKS. THE TARGET FEELS. THE TARGET WANTS YOU DEAD.
This is the simulation that resets the standards in color, realism and 3D graphics; that puts you in command of a top secret billion dollar Los Angeles class U.S. attack sub; that pits you and your crew against deadly fleets of submerged, surface and airborne targets around the globe, that unfolds the dangers of espionage, evasion and destruction.
This is the simulation that forces a showdown with enemies so cunning, so resourceful, and so incredibly human, that in the heat of battle you will ask yourself a most disturbing but ultimately thrilling question:
”Is this really happening?”
This is 688 ATTACK SUB. Welcome aboard, Captain.
