Check this out, I programmed this naval sim more than 25 years ago!

Notes: This is a text-only game. The 'map' is a simple Cartesian grid with coordinates measured in yards (get out your graph paper, guys). Each game turn represents 2-minutes.

(The link above is to an Apple II emulator that requires Sun Java. If nothing happens, you probably don't have Java installed.)

There are a couple more of my games on that site ('Seventh Fleet', 'Northern Fleet') but those require maps & counters (OMG). Also on that site are some 'golden oldies' from Strategic Simulations: 'Guadalcanal Campaign' and 'North Atlantic 86'.

Enjoy!

:arrgh!:

Nice, but I think you put too much effort into graphics and not enough into gameplay.:rotfl:
