Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
Set in a world threatened by the militaristic Dark Anarchy Society, this submarine warfare game tasks players with commanding an attack sub to locate and destroy the enemy's hidden Antarctic headquarters. To survive the unforgiving icy waters and outgun a vigilant foe, the captain must navigate hazardous terrain and potentially team up with a second submarine. Success hinges on strategic leadership and combat prowess to prevent total global collapse.
Story
Introduction
Prepare to enter a world on the brink of war and chaos. The Dark Anarchy Society (D.A.S.) already controls one half of the world and is maneuvering to overtake the rest!
Finding a way to stop D.A.S., and the deadly array of weaponry that has reduced many of our cities to rubble will be a dangerous mission indeed!
Mission Objective
Break off training exercises in the South Atlantic and set course and coordinates for the Antarctic Circle.
As the captain of an Attack Sub, your mission is to find and destroy the D.A.S.'s underwater headquarters, located somewhere in the desolate and unforgiving climes of the Antarctic Sea.
A second sub is currently being outfitted and if you join forces, you'll have a better chance of survival.
Warning
We've lost the element of surprise and D.A.S. will be watching and waiting for you.
Outgunning them will be your only hope as you try to fight your way into the Society's headquarters and put an end to their ability to wage war.
The very existence of our civilization rests on your leadership and the courage of your crew!
