Seaquest is an early shoot 'em up game (with a dash of Frogger) and probably my favorite Activision game on the Atari.
Your goal
is to rescue treasure divers in your submarine, while
shooting or avoiding sharks and enemy subs. Once you have
six divers, you need to surface to go to the next wave.
The graphics are detailed and crisp, and the sounds are
minimal but well done. However, the finely
tuned gameplay is the main attraction.
The game starts off slow, allowing you to get used to
picking up divers and guiding your torpedoes. As the speed
and number of enemies increases, gameplay eventually reaches
a frantic pace. Little details like avoiding the submarine on the
surface and chasing after divers that reverse direction are a nice
touch.
One of Activision's best, Seaquest is a must have.
