Producer: Gem, 16K £4.95 (1) You are in control of a ship equipped with depth charges which can be set to explode at nine different depths depending on which numeric key you select. Beneath you, submarines cross the screen in one direction, occasionally firing missiles up at you which must be dodged. The art is to select the correct depth at which to explode the charge to kill the sub. At higher skill levels the subs change depth randomly. On the whole a game more intended to appeal to younger children, 4 skill levels, reasonable graphics, poor sound, simple control keys. CRASH rating 49% - poor for addicts, good for children. M/C.

Producer: Gem Software Memory Required: 16K Recommended Retail Price: £4.95 Language: machine code In Sub Chase you control an anti-submarine ship which is armed with depth charges. Depending on the level of play you have between thirty five and fifty to explode. The display shows your ship on the surface of a very calm sea, and under the surface, the submarines appear from the left moving straight across to the right. You fire the depth charges by pressing the numerical keys, each one setting the depth at which the charge will explode. In return, some of the subs fire back with missiles which you must dodge. At the highest level the subs appear at all sorts of depths and will even change from one level to another. The skill is in setting the correct depth at which to explode the charge and in the ti ming of sending it on its way. COMMENTS Keyboard positions: simple with only left/right, but was Q/P the best option - it's quite a stretch. Numerics for fire. Use of colour: fair Graphics: simple but well drawn Sound: poor Skill levels: 4 Lives: 1
