This game recreates the look and feel of the original Sea Wolf coin-op arcade game released in 1976 by Midway It probably was the first video game i ever played. In Sea Wolf you take the controls of a submarine and torpedo enemy ships. There are five different types of ship and each kind has a specific length, speed and score value. Floating mines just below the water's surface can block a torpedo from hitting a ship. After launching five torpedoes, you must wait a few moments to reload.

This version is a strange mixture of old skool black & white gameplay and a 'modern' interface but i think it works. It started out as a little side-line experiment but kinda grew out of my control. It has a couple of nice features like positional audio with authentic sounds, animated and largely functional instrument panel, high score, Easter Egg surprise and a "secret" operator settings dipswitch.

Please download & let me know what you think. Its my first release so be gentle Smiley

I tested it in an emulator and it was fun, but it didn't work on my CycloDS

bummer... i can only test it on emuls and my R4 Revolution clone card. no$gba plays it well, iDeaS just doesnt and DeSmulME screws up the BG layers but the gameplay works ok.

BTW: anyone discover the operator dipswitch yet?

Seventeen downloads? thats a bit disappointing... come on guys, give it a trial run.

BTW: the operator dipswitch can be accessed with a "secret" key combo.
Be the first to discover how to get there and what all the switches actually do !

I didn't find the combo yet but I haven't installed it on real hardware so it was just a quick try, didn't score that high :-) The game takes me back to my childhood when I was hanging around in the local arcade and played this game (yeah I'm that old Tongue)

Don't let the number of downloads discourage you, but the audience for that kind of games might be limited :-)

At least you finish your games and that is not the case for all of us ;-)
