Seawar (1984 on Commodore 64)

Description

Seawar puts the player in charge of a fleet of nine ships with the task of destroying the enemy fleet. This might sound similar to Battleship, but there are some twists. First the player must give an angle of fire rather than a coordinate to fire at and there is a seven second time limit for each shot. The first to destroy all enemy ships wins.
