I remember advertisements for this game, they looked pretty good, I didn't even guess it was just a Battle Ships game, I though this was a sort of Beach Head war game.
Well to be fair this a special version of the classic paper game, because it's inspired in the electronic versions. You basically get exactly the same as in the traditional game, each player has a fleet of six ships, all in varying sizes, placed at ease in a 20x20 map.
Then it's up to each player to guess by trial and error the position of enemy ships.
The game is very well decorated, with a nice presentation and good sound. Every time you fire a shot the screen is switched to a graphical representation of a battle scene, this is what I first saw in the advertising posters and looks really good. Not necessary but great to look at.
You can play against the computer or against a friend, the computer is really easy to beat, it feels like a 5 year old playing, and without any skill levels it will became too easy to be addictive. So call a friend first. A nice family game conversion.

Another game I thought I already covered but apparently not. Always like this game, in fact I feel it may be one of the best Battleships games I've played on the Spectrum, it's simple and to the point, the pace is perfect, it's really good fun and may be even better playing with a friend.
