Description
Carga de Profundidade was inspired by two arcade classics from the 1970s: “Depthcharge” and “Destroyer,” both from 1977. They share the same theme, but the gameplay differs in subtle ways. In Depthcharge’s arcade, we control the direction of the ship and the charges detonate when colliding with the submarines. In Destroyer, however, we only control the ship’s speed, and the charges explode at a depth determined by a dial button.
In this version for the ZX Spectrum 48K, the two mechanics are combined: the directional control of the ship and the floating mines of Depthcharge, plus the depth sight and variety of submarines of the Destroyer. The time limit is increased and a torpedo is launched by the larger submarine.
Carga de Profundidade was specially programmed for the 40th anniversary edition of Revista Micro Sistemas, also sold here. You can download a digital version (with source code) here.
