688 Attack Sub

Developer: MicroProse

688 Attack Sub drops you into the tense, instrument-heavy world of Cold War submarine warfare. Players command an attack submarine, juggling sonar, navigation, weapons systems and mission planning as they stalk convoys and hunt enemy subs. The game emphasizes patience, situational awareness and tactical decision-making over twitch action; sonar contacts, bearing plots and depth control become second nature as you learn the systems. Its steep learning curve and deliberate pacing reward methodical play and offer a satisfying sense of mastery for players who enjoy realistic, strategy-focused challenges and nostalgic late-era Genesis presentation.
