Seafox (video game)

Seafox is a 1982 shoot 'em up written by Ed Hobbs and published by Broderbund Software for the Apple II and as a cartridge for the Atari 8-bit family.[1] A Commodore VIC-20 port, also on cartridge, was released in 1983.[2]

Gameplay

Seafox is a game in which the player uses a submarine to sink enemy ships.[3]

Reception

Luther Shaw reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World and stated that "The graphics are nice but there are better games in the Broderbund line."[3]

A January 1983 Creative Computing review concluded:

On the lower levels, I found Seafox considerably easier to play and much less frustrating than several of the other submarine games on the market. Although the hazards increase on the upper levels, I generally had a nice sense of accomplishment as I progressed through the game. My applause goes to Ed Hobbs for creating a game which can be enjoyed by clods and experts alike.[4]

gollark: > servers with lax rules attract smarter peopleI haven't observed that, but even if you've seen "places with lax rules *have* smarter people", you do not know which way the causality runs.
gollark: Politicians are susceptible to lobbying and stuff, but bees are NOT.
gollark: All governance should be done by bees. Bees are incorruptible.
gollark: I don't know. Maybe. Discord servers' constraints are VERY different to societies' though.
gollark: I skim-read all the rules when I join a server, but then mostly forget.
