Navigate your convoy into safe harbor as you pass through dangerous, submarine infested waters!

Once the plastic overlay is placed on the screen, the convoy commander navigate his ship (big white square) along the blue sea lanes, using his horizontal and vertical controls. If the convoy leaves the sea lane, it signifies that it has run into mines and one of the ships is lost.

The submarine captain (the other big white square) launches his torpedoes by presing his Reset button. He directs the torpedo's path toward the convoy with his "English" control.

When the convoy reaches the end of the sea lane path, and is off the screen, it signifies that it has made it into a safe harbor.

Surprisingly fun game given the technical limitations of the Odyssey.
