Death Wake

The war over The Homeland is on the brink of being lost by the Allies as The
Enemy hold the North, East and West, outnumbering everything the Allies hold.
To make matters even worse, The Enemy are on the brink of completing research
for atomic capabilities and when finished will finally end the war for the
Allies. Many attempts have been made to destroy the research centre but all
have failed as it’s at the end of a heavily guarded inlet under a mountain.
You, the Captain of The Undaunted are the nations last hope as you attempt to
sail down from your base, sail across the sea, sail down the inlet before
attempting to destroy the research centre.

The game starts with a map of The Homeland showing the position of both sides
bases, aircraft and ships. You must select your aircraft icons and select
targets to attempt to destroy with more damage making the passage for your
ship easier. Once you have attacked then the computer attacks your icons and
any damage inflicted puts that icon out for one to two turns. Once all attacks
have been made by both sides then various types of arcade sequences start as
you make your way to your target. Complete an arcade sequence and you go back
to the map to attack the computer once again.

The arcade sequences are either viewed from above or a 1st person perspective.
The above view ones have you controlling your ship and two escort boats, and
you must shoot down planes while avoiding bombs, torpedoes or mines. You can
steer your ship to avoid the various weapons and if you hold the fire button
down you control a sight to shoot the planes but you can’t control the ship.
The 1st person sequences have you trying to shoot various ships by firing
shells from your guns. You have to lower or lift the guns up and down to find
the range for your shells while the enemy ships fire back at you. Your ship
has a damage meter and everytime you are hit then it increases and if it
reaches 100% then it is game over.

Once you have made it to the research centre you now face the centre from a
1st person perspective and you have to destroy by firing shells through the
doors as they close. If they shut then you have lost and the war is over.
