About 688 Attack Sub

688 Attack Sub is a simulation of Cold War era naval operations, offering a choice between American and Soviet vessels across ten distinct missions. The experience prioritizes authentic submarine systems, with players able to manage stations for sonar, navigation, and weapons, or assign these tasks to a virtual crew.

Visual presentation consists largely of detailed interior control panels, though external views sometimes appear as digitized imagery of ships and personnel. This approach supports a gameplay style where direct hands-on control is an option, but not always a necessity for operation.
