Coastal Amusements has announced that Sea Wolf, one of the most popular games of the 1970′s has returned, this time in mobile form. The torpedo launching arcade game first debuted in 1976, and was released in 3-D by Coastal Amusements in 2008.
"Sea Wolf continues to be one of our most popular arcade games, so we handpicked it for our first foray into mobile gaming," said Sal Mirando, Co-Founder of Coastal Amusements. "Our hope is that the mobile version of the game will both ignite nostalgia among original fans and reproduce a similar level of enthusiasm among younger gamers."
Based on the popular WWII-themed game, the new Sea Wolf app preserves the details that shot the arcade game to instant popularity while taking advantage of the iOS platform's enhanced graphics and tilt and touch technology. The game is comprised of 8 missions, wherein the sailor (the player) must destroy enemy ships and planes with torpedoes, 50-calibre deck guns and flares, while fending off enemy limpet mines and torpedo counterattacks. Sailors receive authentic mission briefings, and rise up the ranks as they complete each mission.
Sea Wolf is now available in the App Store in two versions— a free limited version that allows players to conquer the first two missions and the full 8-mission app, which can be purchased for $1.99. You can also find a demo video on the game's site, www.SeaWolfApp.com .
