Use the ] key to increase your speed towards the enemy. When you

and K keys to scroll left and right. Press J to match your heading to your
view. Once the target is centered, press the T and Y keys to fire your
forward and aft torpedoes. (You must be viewing aft to fire the aft
torpedoes). Press F or G to fire your anti-aircraft and deck guns at enemy
planes and ships. (You do not have to aim anti-aircraft guns directly at
the planes to hit them.) You will waste ammunition if your targets are not
within range of your guns.
Change your heading by pressing the "." and "," keys and match your
view to the heading by pressing U. Keep and eye on your status by pressing
F8 or 8 for a status readout. If you get into trouble, check your status
readout to make sure it's OK to crash dive (no damage to dive planes,
pressure hull and ballast tanks). Press RETURN to crash dive.
If damages are excessive, send and SOS by pressing ^A. Remember,
you have a limited amount of ammunition. Keep an eye on the number of
torpedoes, deck gun shells remaining, and the percentage of anti-aircraft
gun shells remaining on the control panel (bottom of screen).
This is a demonstration version of SUB BATTLE SIMULATOR, by EPYX. Not all
of the controls work on this demo version, but it is fully functional, but
limited to five minutes per game. EPYX hopes you will like this demo, and
will buy the commercial version. They can be reached at 600 Galveston
Drive, Redwood City, CA., 94063.
To play the game, type "Sub", and you will begin in the middle of
battle, approaching an enemy convoy which will shortly begin firing at you.
Be prepared for battle, and enjoy!
