Just bought the game last week. The only way that I know of
that will give you extra subs is to watch for the yellow plane
and "catch" the parachute that falls from it...
I've had a hard time with this game. It's worth buying because
of the challenge.

608.2 | RED ALERT! | METECH::DIGILIO | Lou Digilio ADMS, MLO11-2/E83 | Wed Mar 13 1991 09:03 | 11 |

I friend of mine has told me that he was able to get I5 subs
when he lost the game and in frustration, tossed the controller
onto the table. Apparently this caused a signal of some sort
that allowed these I5 number of subs to appear. I guess I5
is 5 subs in I, 10 in H, 10 in G and so on. This is 85 subs!
That's enough to do alot of damage to the Russian navy!
Now all I have to do is figure out the code that does this.

| This game does not seem to have generated much interest, I have found
it to be frustrating. I have cleared the harbor and have gotten to the
end of the ice scene, where you face the Russian Underwater Base. Any
ideas how you defeat it. I need also to find a way of continuing
instead after dying of starting over. I have found that the game
offers good graphics and interesting sounds.
Any help out there.

When fighting the underwater base it works well to come in low next
to the sea floor. There you will encounter a rocket or missle
launcher. Blow away the lanucher with numerous shots to it. Then go
up and you will see a gap where torpedos keep being shot out at you.
Well go into the gap fire like crazy use the catapiller as long as you
can. Keep firing the base will start to crack then the base will be
toast. Next level thing get a tad bit harder.
Fig to show you what I mean.

If there is anyone out there with this game to sell....I'd love to
buy it. I think this is one of the best games out right now.
Thanks

The best way to defeat the underwater base is not to get
destroyed right off when approaching it. All you have to
do it grab the "1-up" missle and enter the "mouth" of the
base. The missle launcher down below tends to ignore you
if you go right for the "mouth". Once inside fire all your
missles by holding the button down. This rapid fire will
destroy the base.
I have gone though this level, the open sea level, the
following level ( don't remember what this is called ), and
I am attempting to get through the crystal level.
This is a great game. It has lots of good sound effects and
good graphics. It take alot of patience though and will get
frustrating. This makes me want to defeat it even more.

| Thanks for the help, I will try it this evening. Last night on one of
the movie channels was The Hunt for Red October, it does get you pumped
up to play the game.

| I have gotten to the last stage of the game where you as the captain
must kill all the agents on the sub. How do I go about doing that?
Theres a timer and you don't have much time before the bombs laid by
the agents go off. Again Nintendo Power has published within the last
year a code for a &*$@ load of subs and all your weapons are at stage
3. That's how I got to the last stage.

608.8 | Should I buy it? | SSGV01::CHALMERS | More power! | Mon Jun 28 1993 14:50 | 6 |
| Lechmere in Nashua had this game on clearance last week for $10-$12. Is
it worth the money? Reviews here are pretty old, and seem to be split
to opposite ends of the spectrum: 'very frustrating/impossible' to
'very challenging/fun'.
Opinions, please?
