Submarine Simulator

Submarine Simulator is a 1-player submarine game for the BBC Micro.

The player steps behind the helm of a submarine in enemy waters in the Baltic or the Caribbean. The goal is to sink enemy ships, avoid enemy planes, and hijack enemy freighters.

During navigation, the player has radar and compass to guide their movements. All ship controls and gauges are displayed on the screen, and a periscope allows limited viewing of the water's surface. The ship is diesel, and can only use engines while surfaced. These engines can be used to charge the battery, which is used for silent running beneath the surface. Ship depth is maintained by controlling the valves and ballast of the vessel. The vessel has limited fuel and torpedoes, which can be replenished by boarding enemy freighters. The submarine must also regularly resurface to refresh air systems.
