Man the torpedoes! Dodge depth charges! Great submarine action.

Graphics: 4 Sound: 4 Replay Value: 3 Notes: 1-player; Easter Egg Screen Shots

This is a pretty solid submarine game. You play a sub out to sink the enemy fleet. Dodge depth charges, et. al. and fire torpedoes! You will be handsomely rewarded with "The Flight of the Valkyries" if you win - a beautifully rendered piece using the 3-part harmony capabilities of the sound chip quite well.

A total of six Sub Hunt box variants have been documented.

	Title screen for Sub Hunt.
	Reminiscent of Sea Battle in some ways, what with the harbors and all.
	As your vessel nears range of the enemy task force, the tactical screen goes in for a close-up view.
	When you engage the enemy, you'll need your periscope up enough to see them and ... Launch Torpedos!
