SubWar 2050 Particle Systems Ltd. / MicroProse Ltd. 1993

The year is 2050. The ocean is the next frontier, and war inevitably has reached there. As an independent mercenary working for a corporate conglomerate, the player has to pilot the latest fighter subs to protect the corporate interests, so they can get rewarded with cold hard cash. With 5 different theater of operations (of varying difficulty) and an interesting mix of aerial and submarine tactics, this game can be described as Strike Commander under the sea, without the narrative. Each campaign has multiple missionss held together by an in-depth storyline. The need for combat will arise more often than not and survival will require paying close attention to the varied North Pacific training scenarios provided to bring you up to speed. Each of the campaigns takes you to a different underwater environment. Locales include the North Atlantic, Antarctic, the Sea of Japan and the South China Sea. In addition to the aspect of submarine simulation, it contains aspects of combat on both strategic and tactical levels as well as elements encountered in flight warfare. The goal of the player in each campaign, as an independent submariner, is the accumulation of hard cash earned for completed missions.
