Gunboat is a combat simulator of Patrol Boat, River (PBR). The game starts out in Vietnam during the Vietnam War. When the player earns a second lieutenant's bar, the game moves on to battle the drug kingpins of Colombia. After making the grade of lieutenant commander, the player may begin patrolling the Panama Canal Zone. You control a crew of four men: first-class petty officer who serves as boat captain and pilot, gunner's mate who controls the forward guns, engine man who takes care of the engines and serves as midship gunner, seaman who controls the aft guns. All four men are cross-trained in each other's tasks - redundancy becomes crucial if one or two crew members are wounded or dead. |
