It’s a race against time as both the Americans and Soviets search for the missing submarine.
In a series of missions, the player controls a submarine armed with limited torpedoes, sea bombs, SSMs, and SAMs.
Objectives vary from mission to mission, from reaching the end destination, to escorting and protecting a ship.
In some parts of a mission, the game will momentarily switch to periscope mode, with the aim of shooting all naval and airborne enemies on sight.
About Sega Genesis
Known as the Mega Drive outside North America, the Sega Genesis (1988/1989) was Sega's most successful console and Sonic the Hedgehog's original home, fueling the "console wars" era against Nintendo's SNES. Genesis cartridge collecting is well-established: common sports and platformer titles are affordable, while sports-license and later-era games with smaller print runs can carry a meaningful premium.

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.
