Torpedo Fire is a simulation of a submarine attack on a convoy.[2] It is designed for two players, where each turn covers 60 seconds of simulation time.[3]
Reception
Forrest Johnson reviewed Torpedo Fire in The Space Gamer No. 41.[2] Johnson commented that "I cannot help but feel that Strategic Simulations has taken a wrong turn somewhere. I hope they find their way again soon."[2]
Bob Proctor, in a detailed analysis for Computer Gaming World, concluded "Although extremely well conceived, the concepts could have been better implemented. "[3]
gollark: This is quite hard, "stealing code from OpusOS" time!
gollark: No.
gollark: I *really* ought to overhaul the sandboxing code for potatoos™ already.
gollark: I suppose it's plausible that these are mostly written by people who don't know how loops work.
gollark: It's weird how so many of these bad password programs just reboot and shutdown whenever you do it wrong.
