Bismark (Argus Press)

The object of Bismark is to find and destroy the Bismark after she sank HMS Hood.

In the fleet there are a number of ships including two aircraft carriers. Once loaded there is an option of whether instructions are wanted. These are very detailed and explain everything in good depth.

The screen display is basically split into three sections. The first is a map of the sea with locations. Positioned on the map are all your ships and, if the Bismark has been sighted, it appears as well. Then there is a list of all the fleet's ships and whether they have been sunk or not, which is in the same section as the time and weather. The bottom section is where the computer asks for your moves. The time is split into turns and overall there are thirteen turns until the fleet must refuel.
