Turbo Sub

The next card up for the growing line up of lynx game is Turbo Sub. Guide your special attack cruiser through enemy infested territory. But not only will you be able to do battle in the sky, but you can also dive under the sea any time you want to really shell it out. Many attack fighters and enemy sea monsters will attack you mercilessly. The action is viewed in first perspective and the action never stops.

A fighter jet that flies as easily as it cruises beneath the waters?! You'll need both a flight jacket and a set of fins to take on this aero-aquatic adventure, Turbo Sub, Atari's newest shooter for the Lynx!

Deep Sea Dangers

It's the late 28th century, and intergalactic barbarians have taken over the Earth's skies and oceans. You pilot an elite Turbo Sub, a state of the art fighting vehicle packed to the gills with weaponry. Although ridiculously outnumbered, you must seek out and destroy the invaders, or Earth will be lost forever!

The Turbo Sub is an extremely mobile ship that moves as easily in air as in water. You play via a first person perspective out your viewscreen, with an unlimited supply of electro-plasma blasts at your fingertips. You also carry a limited supply of powerful mega-bombs, which instantly vaporize all the enemies within view.

Crusin' for Bruisin'

You guide the Sub across 17 levels of finger-mashing action. You start each level zooming high above sea level, but you have the power to submerge and resurface at your discretion. This is a powerful advantage over your enemies who are restricted to either the air or under the sea Cruise above the ocean surface, taking out enemy stealth fighters until your radar locates an underwater Gem Pod Zone. Gem Pods are 28th century currency, which you exchange fa valuable weapons and power-ups. Dive and pick up as many Gem Pods as you can.

Proceed with extreme caution, for Gem Pod Zones are always littered with obstacles and alien sentries. Some Gem Pods serve as bait for an aquatic ambush!

At the end of each Gem Pod Zone is a secret underwater supply center. Here you exchange Pods for a myriad of upgrade options including: Extra Life, Fuel, Mega Bombs, Multi-Blasters, Rapid Fire, Shields, Range Missiles, and Tracking. Each option's priced differently, so you must shop wisely!

Flying High

Turbo Sub throttles the Lynx's graphic capabilities to the max. The colons and the first-person scrolling graphics are a joy to behold! Special touches such as a windshield wiper clearing your view-screen every time you surface are a perfect example of the attention to detail. The sound quality is adequate with sharp sounding lasers and blasts, and the absence of an abrasive, canned soundtrack is a welcome change.

Turbo Sub's only drawback is that some gamers may find facing wave after wave of the same air and undersea challenges repetitious. However, if you're looking for a fast-paced, uncomplicated, non-stop, finger-bruisin' shooter with awesome graphics and special effects (and who isn't?), dive into Turbo Sub!

As a Turbo Sub pilot your ultimate goal is to become Grand Admiral of the Turbo Sub Fleet. First, you must prove your worth, and it just so happens that your big chance is here. An alien spacecraft has sent a fleet of strange, futuristic ships to Earth. In this 16-level power-mission for one, you and your awesome Turbo Sub (a flying submarine) must promptly send those aliens packing by intercepting them with some less-than-friendly-fire. You start off with just one simple gun turret. However, you can purchase more powerful weapons, such as a multi-fire gun, Mega Bombs, and Range Missiles. Tough luck! Your enemies (the Saucer, Galactopus, Electrosphere, and more) are laden with mega firepower, too! Look out below, and above! Here comes Turbo Sub!
