688 Attack Sub (1989)
Genres:Simulator
Themes:Warfare
Game modes:Single player, Multiplayer
Story:688 Attack Sub is a classic modern submarine simulation which puts you in command of either the American Los Angeles or the Soviet Alfa class nuclear-powered submarines. Most of the systems you would expect such as sonar and periscope are featured and nicely presented in VGA. The game offers ten missions for both the Soviet and American side in a Cold War scenario, that grows progressively hotter. Nice to see that the two sides' submarines have their own graphic sets in the game, even with some pseudo-cyrillic labels on the Russian side.Show more

This game is fun & I want to play it again. I had the privilege of playing over a modem with a friend way back in High School. I was so good I beat him twice in an Alpha while he was in a Los Angeles SSN. The 688 has 3D graphics of the underwater world. If you are observant & clever enough, the navigational map serves just as good an understanding of the underwater world as the 3D graphics. I felt like Captain Tupoluv at times like when he tossed maps around like useless trash as he made the navigational calculations in his head. But I wasn't that privileged. I needed to play against someone who was just as skilled as me, but that wasn't going to happen. But I do remember my friend did damage my sub a few times with his MK48 torpedoes. How good was I? I was so good at sonar I didn't need to use the periscope anymore. But of course I'm over estimating my skill level. I'm pretty sure there are 688AS videogame subdrivers just as good or better than me. BTW, the last mission is bogus. I launched my Tomahawk missiles at a land target and silently proceeded northwest. If you evade the Russian Navy, the game suddenly ends when you travel too much to the northwest on the map. That happened to me twice. And it was a let down...
Need for Speed: High StakesJust like its predecessors Need for Speed: High Stakes is an action racing game with a wide selection of exotic sports cars and many different types of tracks. The trademark Hot Pursuit mode game mode from the first game in the series is still present, where players race opponents on tracks filled with regular traffic and police cars that chase the racers. The classic pursuit mode is extended with two additional modes: Getaway and Time Trap. In Getaway the player needs to shake off the police in a set amount of time, or playing as the police trap a speeder before time runs out. In Time Trap an entire race needs to be completed before time runs out, or as the police all speeders need to be arrested. There are minor differences between the two platforms for this game mode, regarding spike strips, road blocks, and back-up. The latter for instance is unique to the PlayStation version. The Pursuit mode is available in multiplayer as well and players can take different sides or race together.
It is the first game in the series to introduce a Career mode with a set of challenges. Beating these is rewarded with trophies for unlocks, and money to spend on new cars, repairs and upgrades. In the PlayStation version the Career mode is split up into two different sets of challenges: Tournament (required races) and Special Event (optional races). High Stakes in the title refers to races where players bet their cars. In the PC version these are a part of the Career mode when the player owns more than two cars. In the PlayStation version two players can insert their memory cards and race against each other. The winner immediately receives the opponent's car and it is deleted from the loser's memory card right away.
In addition to the new game modes it is also the first game in the series to have a detailed physics models. Damage now affects both the appearance and the performance of the car for the first time.
