Submarine Attack is a classic horizontal shoot ’em up developed by Sega and released in 1990 for the Sega Master System. Piloting an advanced submarine, players navigate dangerous underwater caverns and enemy-filled oceans to dismantle a hostile armada. Combining traditional scrolling shooter action with an aquatic setting, the game challenges you to balance forward torpedoes with upward-launching missiles to survive.
How to Play
Your objective is to clear the auto-scrolling stages, taking down waves of enemy subs, ships, and defense systems before facing the boss at the end of each zone. For the Sega Master System, use the D-pad (arrow keys) to maneuver your sub, the 1 button (mapped to Z) to launch upward missiles at surface targets, and the 2 button (mapped to X) to fire torpedoes straight ahead.
Tips
Taking out surface ships quickly with your upward missiles is crucial, as it prevents them from dropping devastating depth charges on you. Watch the terrain carefully since colliding with the walls of narrow underwater corridors will cost you a life, and always prioritize grabbing power-ups to upgrade your speed and weapons.
