Battleship was a fun war strategy board game, and this is the adaptation for
the Game Boy. It contains 48 stages which you can play through, using an
increasing variety of ships, each with its own unique weapons/abilities to
use. The game is password-driven, so even if you lose, you will be able to
continue playing anyway. It can get tough in the later stages, since there
are more ships and items available, but it only adds to the fun. There is
also a 2-player mode for battling against a friend. I enjoyed this game, and
you most likely will too!

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

If you have played the board game version of Battleship, you will know
exactly how this is played. If you haven't, basically this is a strategy game
played on a map grid. At the start of each stage, players can position their
available ships anywhere on the grid (ships can not overlap for obvious
reasons). The ship positions are hidden to the opponent. Each player then
takes a turn selecting grid spaces on the enemy's board to attack, in hopes
of hitting a ship.

To aid in your progress are special weapons/abilities used by each ship type.
For instance, the Submarine is the smallest and thus hardest unit to find,
but you can use its radar to scope out enemy positions. Other ships have
various types of weapons which allow for multiple hits in the same turn,
either at spots of your choosing or in a set pattern.

The objective is to destroy the entire enemy fleet before your own ships are
destroyed. When you make a shot, you will either Hit or Miss. A Hit is
designated with a white circle in that space; a Miss is a black circle. Take
into account the remaining ships and the position of the Miss spaces to
determine where your next shots should be aimed at. If you hit every space of
a ship, it will be destroyed, rendering its special abilities/weapons
useless.

During the game, you can press B to use these special items or view the
status of your own ships. Most items can only be used once except for certain
stages where usually the newest item in your arsenal can be used twice. At
the end of a stage, you will be given a password before continuing onward.
After every four stages, you will gain a "level", which means you will get a
new item, new ship, or an additional unit of an existing item to use. If you
lose in a given stage, you can restart right away with no penalty.
