🎮 Play Navy Blue 98 (Japan) Online (Game Boy)

Navy Blue 98 is a naval combat strategy game released for the Game Boy in Japan in 1998. Developed by Use and published by Shouei, it continues the classic Navy Blue series with tactical gameplay inspired by the traditional board game Battleship. Players command a fleet of warships, taking turns to guess the coordinates of enemy vessels hidden on a grid and attempting to sink them before their own fleet is destroyed.

How to Play

The objective is to outmaneuver and destroy the opponent’s fleet by strategically calling out grid coordinates to find hidden ships. In your web browser, the standard Game Boy controls map as follows: use the arrow keys to navigate the grid and position your attacks, press Z (A) to fire or confirm selections, X (B) to cancel, and use Enter (Start) to access the game menu.

Tips

• Spread out your initial shots in a diagonal or checkerboard pattern to find enemy ships more efficiently without wasting turns on adjacent empty squares.
• Once you score a hit, target the immediate surrounding squares to determine the orientation of the enemy vessel and sink it quickly.
• Keep track of which ship sizes your opponent has left to avoid searching for large ships in areas that are too small to conceal them.
