Subroc (CBS Electronics)
A fleet of hostile forces has assembled around your vessel. You must defend the sea against wave after wave of enemies by directing your gunsight to locate them and then shooting them with either torpedoes or missiles.
You should try to eliminate seven types of enemy objects. Your torpedoes can destroy cruisers and battleships that steam across the sea and your missiles can eliminate flying saucers, but they can shoot missiles and mines back at you and so can the cruisers and battleships after a while.
A mystery ship can appear in every attack and when you hit it bonus points are awarded.

Green fighters will appear next. They fly at your Subroc vessel in close formation and will fire missiles at you. You have to destroy them all before the next attack.
Interceptors fill the sky. You must fire at these for 200 points each. Drones weave across the sea as they fire torpedoes, missiles and mines at your vessel. You must hit them with a torpedo to knock them out of action.
Once the sea clears the Command Plane will swoop in from above. The bonus value will start to decrease. If you destroy the Command Plane before the bonus value reaches zero, you will win the points in the Mystery Bonus Indicator. This plane fires missiles and hides behind a moving shield. If you hit the centre of the shield it vanishes for a second and you earn 400 points. You then have a chance of hitting the Command Plane.
Your final opponent is the Command Ship. Your vessel's weapons have to penetrate the ship's force field to eliminate this fleet leader.
In even numbered rounds of this game you start battling during the day. When the sky turns from blue to orange your vessel is in twilight and then, when the sky is black, it is night time.
With this game, as you can see, there is plenty of action going on. There is the unusual combination of space ships and ships such as tankers on the screen in one game!
