Sea Wolf
Commodore 64 · 1976
About this game
Sea Wolf is an arcade game by Midway, originally released in 1976.
The player looks through a large periscope to aim at ships moving across the virtual sea line at the top of the screen, using a thumb button on the right handle of the scope to fire torpedoes.

The periscope swivels to the right and left, providing horizontal motion of a targeting cross-hair.
The cabinet features a mixture of video game and older electro-mechanical technology for player feedback.
Using back-lit transparencies reflected inside the scope, the number of torpedoes remaining are displayed, as well as a red "RELOAD" light which lights up momentarily when the player has launched five torpedoes.
Additionally, when ships are hit on the screen, an explosion "light" is reflected inside the scope.
A blue overlay is affixed to the screen to provide a "water color" to the sea.
Sounds include a sonar ping and the sound of the PT Boat racing across the screen.
Sea Wolf is time-limited, with the player having an opportunity to win bonus time by reaching an operator-set score.
The player's score is shown on the bottom half of the screen as well as the high score, one of the first known instances of a high score in a video game.
Targets include destroyers, a fast moving PT Boat, and mines floating across the screen can that serve as obstructions.
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 Sea Wolf 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 Sea Wolf 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 1976.
