I had the opportunity to try out teh B&W version (is there a color version?)
recently and here's my inital thoughts. Nice and complex. It has lots of
different ship classes, weapons classes, aircraft classes, etc. With this,
the game, however, still feels like a port. The graphics aren't too hot...tho
this may be different with the color version. The buttons aren't really mac
looking...and in many cases, wish were drawn better. Also, the game crashes
ocassionally on a IIci...tho this may be due to init conflicts (even tho I
don't have init conflicts with any other game...including armor alley).
Also don't like the fact that once a torpedo is in the water and comming at
your sub, you have no way of dodging it (other than plain dodging). You
have no countermeasures at all (where's those neat noisemakers they used in
the hunt for red october?).
All in all, the B&W version was disappointing.
