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]
