The game starts by promoting the player to Admiral, placing them on the bridge of a great flagship, and then resets the clock to start from the critical hour.
The game offers an isometric battlefield engine used in Waterloo, including weather effects and a fog of war system.
Game calculations are based on complex mathematics.
There are seven historical scenarios included (battle of Jutland which involves over 60 ships) along with other smaller battles and scenarios.
There is also a practice scenario for the beginner.
Dreadnoughts is mainly played through menus where you have to point with your mouse or keyboard and issue the relative order.
Commands are issued through sentences.
There are several keywords to issue orders, plus a directive so the computer knows who you're talking to.
About Commodore 64
Released in 1982, the Commodore 64 is the best-selling home computer model of all time, with an enormous software library spanning games, productivity tools, and everything in between. C64 game collecting centers on cassette tapes and floppy disks in their original packaging — physical media that's inherently fragile, so complete, working copies from the era are increasingly prized by retro computing collectors.
Gamevaro tracks Dreadnoughts for Commodore 64 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Dreadnoughts to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This C64 release dates back to 1984.
