What's New -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Version 1.0 (10/20/10): The first version. ***************************************************************************** -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -= 2. Introduction -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Battleship was a fun war strategy board game, and this is the adaptation for the Game Boy. It contains 48 stages which you can play through, using an increasing variety of ships, each with its own unique weapons/abilities to use. The game is password-driven, so even if you lose, you will be able to continue playing anyway. It can get tough in the later stages, since there are more ships and items available, but it only adds to the fun. There is also a 2-player mode for battling against a friend. I enjoyed this game, and you most likely will too! ***************************************************************************** -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -= 3. Controls -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Control Pad: Move cursor during game Start: Start game Select: Move cursor on title screen A: Place ship during setup, choose space to attack, make selection on menus B: Change ship direction during setup, access menu during game ***************************************************************************** -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -= 4. Overview -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= If you have played the board game version of Battleship, you will know exactly how this is played. If you haven't, basically this is a strategy game played on a map grid. At the start of each stage, players can position their available ships anywhere on the grid (ships can not overlap for obvious reasons). The ship positions are hidden to the opponent. Each player then takes a turn selecting grid spaces on the enemy's board to attack, in hopes of hitting a ship. To aid in your progress are special weapons/abilities used by each ship type. For instance, the Submarine is the smallest and thus hardest unit to find, but you can use its radar to scope out enemy positions. Other ships have various types of weapons which allow for multiple hits in the same turn, either at spots of your choosing or in a set pattern. The objective is to destroy the entire enemy fleet before your own ships are destroyed. When you make a shot, you will either Hit or Miss. A Hit is designated with a white circle in that space; a Miss is a black circle. Take into account the remaining ships and the position of the Miss spaces to determine where your next shots should be aimed at. If you hit every space of a ship, it will be destroyed, rendering its special abilities/weapons useless. During the game, you can press B to use these special items or view the status of your own ships. Most items can only be used once except for certain stages where usually the newest item in your arsenal can be used twice. At the end of a stage, you will be given a password before continuing onward. After every four stages, you will gain a "level", which means you will get a new item, new ship, or an additional unit of an existing item to use. If you lose in a given stage, you can restart right away with no penalty. ***************************************************************************** -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -= 5.
