A surprisingly rigorous submarine sim for the console, with full sonar and torpedo management. Slow, tense, fascinating once it grabs you.

Is 688 Attack Sub still worth playing in 2026?

688 Attack Sub is a submarine simulation from MicroProse, in which you command a 688 boat on tactical underwater missions blending sonar, stealth and torpedo management. Its measured and demanding approach conveys the tension of submarine warfare well, the opposite of immediate action. The deliberate slowness and austere interface will put off anyone after spectacle. For fans of patient military simulation and retro naval strategy, it is a niche proposition that retains its interest for enthusiasts.
