Now you can experience the adventures of those zany Soviet defectors and their fantastic submarine, in such situations as getting killed by underwater mines and getting killed by glacier ice! Ported to every platform under the sun!

Hmmm...
To do:
The text PASSWORD is stored with the options screen text, along with a list of possible 6 digit passwords(?), but this game doesn't use a password system?

Regional Differences

Title Screen and Options Menu

Japan USA Europe

Only the European game has a title screen with the ability to enter an options menu, despite the programming existing and seemingly fully functional in the other regions. Note that the Super Scope option highlighted in the screenshot will only appear if the Super Scope is connected. In this game, the Super Scope is used only when the game switches to first-person view (Periscope Mode).

It's possible to use just the first two codes from a set, but there will be a visual glitch (the title screen fades out twice).

Misc.

  • The Japanese version has a Continue Yes/No prompt when a mission is failed instead of just showing the Game Over screen, at least for the first mission.
