Synopsis:

“Aquanaut is a fast paced arcade-type game for OS/2. It makes full use of MMPM/2 for extensive sound effects and background music.

The idea of the game is to control a submarine over the ocean floor, to save treasure chests which are being looted by a variety of underwater monsters. As you zoom under the ocean blue you'll encounter giant seahorses, jellyfish, U-boats, torpedoes, all of them bent on your destruction. If  you're lucky you'll find a mermaid or rubber ring to help you against the onslaught of monsters.

Your sub is equipped with a powerful laser cannon and scatter bombs, which kill everything in sight. It also has the capability to aqua-warp to another location on the ocean floor. A sonar display helps you locate the treasure and monsters in your proximity.

The sub may be controlled either through definable keys or using the mouse. There are many options to define the setup of the game including object size, game speed, enabling of enemy bullets and sonar display, enabling of sound and music... ”
