Up Periscope

Up Periscope is a video game in the strategy genre and published by Beyond originally released in 1983. It is currently playable on Dragon 32/64.

Several years before Actionsoft's Up Periscope cleared the Pacific of enemy submarines, Beyond's Up Periscope did the same in the Atlantic. Designed by the same person as Kriegspiel, it uses the same interface and hexagon playfield. Your task as fleet commander is to escort a convoy from one end of the map to the other within a set time limit, with at least half of the ships in the convoy surviving the herd of submarines lurking in the depths. The fleet commander has six destroyers at his disposal to protect the convoy and clear the sea of submarines. The ships are equipped with sonar to discover the submarines and a series of depth charges and torpedoes to destroy them. Only a limited number of moves can be made during each turn.

A second player can join the game, playing as the submarine commander. Submarines can be on the seabed (invisible to sonar), at periscope level (for firing torpedoes) or in plain sight on the surface. At surface level, surface ships can ram submarines, thus saving valuable ammunition.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
