Scuba Dive

If you have ever wanted to swim the icy depths in search of sunken treasure, then this is the game for you. Under your careful control is a highly manoeuvrable Frogman, who, with the swish of a flipper can turn, dive, twist and accelerate with beautiful motions, in any conceivable direction, even upside down.

The object of the game is to collect as many pearls and items of treasure as you can before either your air runs out or you are killed by one of the numerous inhabitants of Davey Jones's Locker. Just to make life difficult your intrepid Frogman has to put up with the fact that he doesn't even have any defence against these nautical nasties. The only real drawback with this game is when the screen is scrolled, which tends to jump into position. But that is a small price to pay for the excellent graphics contained.

So remember, when you are underwater, no one can hear your screams!!!
