Summary
In 688 Attack Sub you step into the cramped bridge of a nuclear‑powered attack submarine, choosing between the sleek American Los Angeles‑class and the hulking Soviet Alfa‑class. Both vessels are rendered in crisp VGA, each with its own distinct visual palette – the Russian side even sports pseudo‑Cyrillic markings that add a subtle flavor of Cold‑War tension. The simulation doesn’t skimp on the essentials: sonar sweeps, periscope views, and a suite of onboard controls feel surprisingly tactile for a Genesis title. Ten missions per faction guide you from quiet surveillance to full‑blown global conflict, with the American boat boasting richer electronics and a larger weapons loadout, while the Soviet craft trades firepower for higher sustained speeds. A hidden gem is the two‑player mode, letting you pit sub against sub over a modem or null‑modem cable, turning the console into a miniature naval warroom.
Storyline
688 Attack Sub drops you into the helm of a nuclear‑powered attack submarine, choosing between the U.S. Los Angeles‑class or the Soviet Alfa‑class. Across ten missions you navigate tense Cold‑War‑era encounters, from covert patrols to full‑scale engagements. The campaign escalates into a speculative worldwide conflict, forcing you to balance stealth, torpedo strikes and strategic decisions. Each operation builds on the last, painting a picture of superpower rivalry beneath the waves.
