Scuba Dive
A cute game as payable today as back in the day. I've always loved it. The animation of sharks are really good.
Your views? Have you progressed much in it?

Re: Scuba Dive
Hi
This was one of my favourite 48k games back in the early 80's. Durrell were quite a good puplisher on the Spectrum.
I got past the Giant Octopus before and got quite a way down into the next cavern and i think that was it. I always came a cropper trying to get back up to the boat.
But you're right, the animation on the sharks is very good.
Have you ever played Combat Lynx ??

Re: Scuba Dive
I tried it sometimes, but it has a lot of keys, difficult to control.
Re: Scuba Dive
I loved this game, but I died a lot playing it.
Either from encounters with see creatures, hitting the rocks, or running out of air.
The collision detection is really unforgiving.
Who knows, if I do real Scuba Diving today, due to this game ?

Re: Scuba Dive
To be honest I never liked it that much. I did not play it back in the day, and had to force myself playing it years ago for a Speccy Tour. I found it rather repetitive, and also unforgiving at times, as other folks here did.
But that shark is really impressive!

I play this from time to time and really enjoy it. Despite its toughness I find it really relaxing. I’ve never recorded my scores or progress but I’ve been pretty deep - down past the two octopuses and through lots of tunnels.
A solid 3.5 to 4 out of 5 game.
