Air-Sea Battle is another example of what I talked about in Sky Diver's blurb. The single player isn’t even worth mentioning, but as a competitive game its a relative blast.

You control either an anti-aircraft gun, a bomber, a submarine, or a ship depending on the game mode, or I guess a clown murdering gun if you are playing the shooting gallery variant, and are tasked with shooting down enemies quicker than your opponent can while avoiding the obstacles that try and prevent your missiles from hitting their target. It gives you the option to either have missiles that you guide manually or ones that just follow the initial trajectory which adds more strategy than you’d expect, I promise.

You might remember Canyon Bomber and Human Cannoball - both games with lightly similar mechanics to some of Air-Sea Battle’s gameplay - faltered there by having limited replay value. The Ship vs Bomber two player variant is specifically the stand out, and to this point was probably the most involved two player game on the console.
