Terror at Selachii Bay

aka: Shark Attack
Moby ID: 121535

Description

Terror at Selachii Bay is a 1-player strategy game.

The player controls a boat and a crew, with the goal to hunt the shark which stalks Selachii Bay. The player must explore the bay, as displayed overhead, looking for the shark on their sonar. After locating the shark, the player must choose to fire a harpoon in 1 of the 4 cardinal directions, as well as choose from 4 separate depths. The combination required to hit the shark is determined by trial and error. The shark will intermittently change its location, and will move to a new place on the map whenever the player returns to the marina for supplies. If the shark is struck by 3 harpoons, it will die.

There are numerous dangers facing the captain and crew. Random storms will cause loss of supplies and crew. The player must avoid running aground or into shipwrecks, as the ship will rapidly take on water and sink. The player can also take damage from shark attacks, forcing the player to take time to repair their vessel at sea. Old mines dispersed through the bay require the player to remember an old man's password from the start of each game, or risk being blown apart.
