Torpedo Games

The torpedo games encompass Game Modes 7-12. In the torpedo games, you can move your submarine left and right with Left and Right on the joystick while firing straight upwards with the fire button. The player on the left cannot move past the left half of the screen, while the player on the right cannot move past the right half of the screen.

Multiple targets will move from left to right, and you'll want to shoot them all down as quickly as possible to get new ones as well to achieve as high a score as possible. Timing is key to shoot down as many targets as you can in addition to your position on the screen.

In Game Modes 7-9, each target shot down awards one point.

Game 7

This is the standard two-player mode. After firing, your torpedoes travel straight up.

Game 8

Game Mode 8 introduces guided torpedoes that can be guided with Left and Right on the joystick.

Game 9

The game goes back to having standard missiles, and is a one-player mode versus the computer. The computer controls the left submarine, while the player controls the right submarine with a joystick in Controller Port 2. Once again, the computer player continuously fires.

In Game Modes 10-12, different targets will have different point values. The PT boats (which have three small lines sticking out of the top) award four (4) points, the aircraft carriers award three (3) points, the pirate ships (which have two lines sticking out of the top) award two (2) points, the freighters award one (1) point, and the mines award no points and just serve as an obstacle.

Game 10

Just like in Game 7, the torpedoes fired by the submarines always shoot straight upwards.

Game 11

Just like in Game 8, you can guide the torpedoes with Left and Right on the joystick to move them left and right.

Game 12

This is a one-player vs. computer mode with the player controlling the submarine on the right with a joystick in Controller Port 2. Once again, the computer player continuously fires.
