Battleship is a CD-i conversion of the classic board game. The game plays exactly like the original board game. You take turns to fire on certain coordinates in the hope of hitting enemy ships. On the side of the screen there's a little window that shows short naval archive footage whenever you are firing or get hit. You can play against the computer or against a friend.
Gameplay involves guessing where the enemy ships are located by firing at different coordinates. If you hit an enemy ship, it sinks and you score points. The game continues until all enemy ships have sunk or a set time limit has been reached. The gameplay is straightforward but challenging, requiring strategy to win.
