608.0. "The Hunt for Red October" by MLCSSE::PICCICUTO (Thank you for Shopping DIGITAL) Sun Mar 03 1991 09:48

    Has anyone played the game "Hunt for Red October"??
    
    I rented it last week and found it fun, but difficult!  I'm not fond of
    some games that have you constantly battle one scene and not allow
    you to play the next until you defeat the one you're in.
    
    So, I need a cheat procedure to let me get more subs or stage select!!
    
    Any out there??
    
    Thanks,
    
    Phil

608.1Just bought it last week!METECH::DIGILIOLou Digilio ADMS, MLO11-2/E83Tue Mar 12 1991 17:0410
	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.

608.2RED ALERT!METECH::DIGILIOLou Digilio ADMS, MLO11-2/E83Wed Mar 13 1991 09:0311
	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.

	
608.3Need help >>>>>>!!!!!!!POBOX::BAYLESSDavid BaylessTue May 14 1991 12:358
    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.
608.4Hope this HelpsCSCOA1::MARSHALL_JHave you seen it? It's got WINGS!Tue May 14 1991 18:0726
    
    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.

608.5Go for the kill fast!METECH::DIGILIOLou Digilio ADMS, MLO11-2/E83Wed May 15 1991 10:0019

	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.

608.8Should I buy it?SSGV01::CHALMERSMore power!Mon Jun 28 1993 14:506
    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?
