The Story Behind Super Battleship
In addition, the SNES version also has "Taps" play whenever a ship sinks (save for when the last ship sinks). The Genesis and Super NES versions differ from each other in a few aspects. In the Genesis version, the firing of the ships is faster as well as the pace of the rest of the gameplay.
It is based on the Battleship board game by the Milton Bradley Company. Additionally, the method of firing and aiming missiles changed: the Genesis version require missiles to dive on a target, while in the SNES version the missiles oscillated from side to side. Although the missions are the same, the graphics are significantly improved in the SNES version, as well as the difficulty reduced.
How Super Battleship Plays
Depth charges are dropped on submerged submarines. A turn ends when either the time limit expires or all ships receive orders. Crewmen can be assigned to repair ships' damaged systems.
Radar detects surface ships while sonar detects submarines and mines. Aside from the battles taking place in real-time, Super Battleship is essentially a strategy game with a relatively slow pace. The game's interface contains both radar and sonar modes.
