Atari 8-bit screenshots

thumbnail — Atari 8-bit Title Screen.

thumbnail — The initial game menu.

thumbnail — Setting up a new game.

thumbnail — The mission briefing, received appropriately in Morse code (slowly, too).

thumbnail — Submerged.

thumbnail — The main game naval chart, showing all quadrants.

thumbnail — Quadrant map.

thumbnail — The radar.

thumbnail — Approaching a Japanese PT boat.

thumbnail — A hit with the torpedo produces a large splash.

thumbnail — Then a glimmering explosion characteristic of Atari 8-bit graphics.

thumbnail — Unlike the Atari ST version, the Atari 8-bit version actually shows the ships sinking.

thumbnail — And down she goes. Sinking animations really are important to naval sim games.

thumbnail — The damage control screen.

thumbnail — The Captain's Log from the demo mode.

thumbnail — The game has a helpful tutorial demo mode.

thumbnail — There is no one-page chart of all the ships you'll face; here you flip through the different ships.

thumbnail — And, again, the obligatory history and specifications infotainment section of the game.

Atari ST screenshots

thumbnail — The title screen.

thumbnail — The about screen.

thumbnail — I imagine every new Gato player first attacked his subtender.

thumbnail — Our subtender -- the ship that replenishes and repairs our Gato.

thumbnail — Look at that intricate graphical explosion!

thumbnail — It makes you just swell with pride -- our first confirmed kill.

thumbnail — So much for glory.

thumbnail — The map plotting screen; every ship, enemy or friendly, is a white dot.

thumbnail — Three Japanese ships detected on radar.

thumbnail — There they are! They seem far, but the distance closes quickly.

thumbnail — One down. After this explosion animation, the ship simply disappears.

thumbnail — Nighttime operations; the ships are appropriately harder to see.

thumbnail — But, once closer, they are as hard to see as your computer monitor.

thumbnail — The missions included decent variation.

thumbnail — The straightforward seek-and-destroy mission.

thumbnail — Each mission is timed.

thumbnail — Replenishing mines and torpedoes at the subtender.

thumbnail — The captain's log / kill list.

thumbnail — The enemies profile.

thumbnail — The options available, screen 1.

thumbnail — The options available, screen 2.

thumbnail — The obligatory (but interesting) history portion, which included Gato statistics.

thumbnail — The splash looks decently realistic.

thumbnail — The explosion, consisting of a series ray-traced lines.

thumbnail — After the explosion, the ship simply disappears; no sinking animation.

thumbnail — Approaching an unidentified ship from behind.

thumbnail — Rule #1: do not ram enemy ships. Blub, blub.

thumbnail — The radar showing a convoy of four ships ahead.

thumbnail — Approaching the convey from a distance.

thumbnail — The distance closes rapidly; 3-D rendering is decent.

thumbnail — Once you're detected, the destroyers and PT boats close in on you quickly.

thumbnail — They *will* ram you. Better to dive.

thumbnail — Diving...

thumbnail — Submerged; the engine shuts down, and you must manually switch to electric.
