Name the game - Part 10!

Wh00t, there was that AWESOME Game back in my Days, where you were a Scuba-diver and there were Sharks everywhere! You could shoot, but that would only send the Sharks sleepin' TOTALLY AWESOME DUDE.
You also had a kinda Safezone, a Cage, safe from Shark attacks!
Which was essential caus ein level two there were 2 Sharks and then 3 and then...
Awesome!
Your Scubdiver faced Nasty OTHER SEA CREATURES later, like Octowhatever and stmth. i cant remember at all, some Kind o SeaAmoeba (sp?) which looked not too good in those Days in EGA/VGA.

I think it was called ScubaDiver or Golddiver or smth.

Whatever, those were the Days.

ummm... DeepSeaDiver? not sure if this got a release outside the uk though?

[CapTVK]

Still, not the right answer, but in a way everyone is very close.


To win is a matter of wordage
It isn't dexterity that wins but language

ecoquest

But if it's a typing game, then I know that I've played it before... There was an excellent undersea typing game released around 1992...

[child of Thor]

ah yes i think i know the one too but not the name of it alas. Can we be a winner for just knowing of it?

[DarkCloud]

Just PMed you the answer, coT... whether it's the correct answer to the rhyme though, remains to be decided.

[child of Thor]

Yep you did - well tell you what i'll post it here and you can get the guess if its right

Operation Neptune?

[DarkCloud]

fair enough

The only thing working against the guess is the 'fishbowl' clue...

[CapTVK]

No,no still not right....but yet so close!

I'll give a traditional clue: late 80's and appeared on various 16-bit and 8-bit homecomputers.

[DarkCloud]

shark attack?

[Main_Brain]

Whale`s Voyage?

[child of Thor]

i think i've got it - now what was it called again......

[DrSpike]

CoT, Name the Game!

[child of Thor]

tip of my tongue.........i wish i could name it, just give me 30mins or so

EDIT: there is the added dilema, that when i get the name - i'm away for all next week - going somewhere with no pc's......so it will be a lot of guessing time for you guys.

[DrSpike]

No problem, we can just dock you a point for each day you don't post a clue.
