Categ/Oric

It is a good simulation of naval warfare (better than Frigate Commander by IJK) set in World War II. The graphics are fairly basic, but extremely clear and do a good job of helping you in your task. The sound is also limited, but good - the sound of the ASDIC equipment and the blaring alarm klaxon for example. When the action hots up, the klaxon sounds all the time, driving you nuts! The game involves you in a battle against submarines, surface ships and aircraft - there is also a convoy you can pick off for extra points if you are quick. Your ship is armed with a cannon (against ships), machine guns (against aircraft) and depth charges (for the subs). A really good game for simulation/Trek-style fans, but not one for the arcade blasters among you!
