About

It is November of 1984. While the Gorbachev regime is in power, the specialized Red October submarine has sunk down in the ocean. 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.
