Most of us have played the board game Battleship, or at least a paper version, at some point in our lives -- now the traditional game bursts forth in 3D on the PC. Battleship: Surface Thunder is actually two games in one! The king of a neighboring country falls ill and his son, Prince Dudley, takes his place on the throne. Unfortunately, the young prince mysteriously disappears while traveling and the evil Lord Drash assumes control. As his first order, Drash launches a surprise attack that devastates your surface fleet. Every ship in your fleet, with the exception of one lone battleship, is sunk.
Your mission is to find Prince Dudley and restore him to the throne. Blast your way past armed fortresses, hostile airplanes, bombing zeppelins, oceangoing vessels and sea creatures in a series of increasingly difficult missions.
Choose to play "classic" Battleship mode or venture into the arcade adventure for a totally new challenge and perspective on this venerable game. The classic hit-or-miss Battleship can be played on three different grid sizes; each time a target location is selected, your ship fires a missile. Each player has five ships to hide including a PT boat, submarine, destroyer, battleship and carrier. Before play begins, boats are arranged anywhere on the grid individually or automatically by clicking on a question mark icon.
In the arcade adventure, you must locate Prince Dudley while destroying enemies, rescuing people on life rafts and returning them to a safe harbor. In the initial levels, you only have to worry about standard gun turrets and PT boats but, as you progress, biplanes, bombers, attack planes, zeppelins, destroyers, carriers, subs, battleships and many other types of turrets, including land-based, clutter your path.
Along with the standard gun turret, you also have to worry about range, flame, combo, pop-up and mimic turrets, all with unique abilities. Be wary of mines, flame barrels and TNT barrels that can end your mission in an explosive fire show. It's not all one-sided, though, as you have a heavy arsenal of retaliatory and survival options available.
Health, armor, extra lives, speed, turbo, turret, rapid ammo, sonar, depth charges, air rockets, mines, submarines, whale calls and invincibility power-ups that cure damage, gain more power and acquire new weapons are but some of the weapons you have to combat Drash's forces. Destroy prisons to release life rafts and drop them off at friendly ports while avoiding shipyards (the launch site of destroyers), sub-pens and docks (PT boats).
Whether you use the fully customizable keyboard, mouse or joystick controls to steer your ship, your main goal remains clear: restore the prince to the throne and establish peace. Enable multiple camera views by using free-look mode and the mouse to change views but watch out for that enemy destroyer! As the last friendly battleship on the sea, you're on your own. Can you take the heat and defeat the enemy? Your country is counting on you!

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
