"If you ever watched Stingray, you'll love this playable level from Amok. Basically, you have to start a war by charging around, in this case underwater, blowing things up, whilst avoiding some rather toothsome sharks, irate frogmen and a bevy of relentlessly homing missiles. The biggest laugh factor is using high explosives underwater, and watching your enemies float belly up, like some many deceased goldfish. Windows 95.,"
