- Depth Charge is a small and simple game. You take on the role of what
- I would guess is a war ship which is placed on top of the sea, below you
- are submarines and fish (?!) you have to release a bomb so it leaves
- enough time for it to connect with whatever you want to hit and if you
- hit it you gain more score. You have 30 charges to hit various bits and
- the highest score you get is shown on the main menu.

- Yes that is all... not much fun huh? well honestly the lastability on this
- game is pathetic. You play it for a few seconds and it seems ok, then
- suddenly you realise there is no excitement to the game. The graphics
- are quite nicely drawn and the music has been done to an acceptable
- standard but other than that there isn't alot of praise I can give the
- game.

- Ok it is the authors first attempt at a game but I can't see what the
- point to it is. The game has one level and the screen doesn't even clear
- from the first time you played it so you are left with many sunk
- submarines below and dead fish, why on earth you would want to use a
- bomb to hit a fish is beond me but oh well its the authors choice.

- If you can be bothered entering the directory to play this game then
- by all means do, otherwise i'd just leave it be.
