Description of Das Boot: German U-Boat Simulation

Artech Digital Entertainment, Ltd. gave birth to Das Boot: German U-Boat Simulation (also known as Das Boot is Missing) in 1990, with the help of Three-Sixty Pacific, Inc. as publisher. Cool simulation game, the player evolve in a real-time, naval, historical battle (specific/exact) theme with a perspective.

A quirky action-oriented sub simulation that's disappointing given Three-Sixty's expertise in realistic wargames and reputation established with Harpoon. Although Three-Sixty obviously tries to imbue the game with realism, the game comes across as an arcade/wargame hybrid that can't decide which kind of game it wants to be. Bright VGA graphics and lots of gameplay options, including some inventive scenarios, help elevate the game somewhat.
