Battleship (1993)

Battleship (or Battleship: The Classic Naval Combat Game) is a game based on the board game of the same name, produced by Synergistic Software and released by Mindscape in 1993 for NES in both North America and Europe and Game Gear in North America.

Gameplay
The gameplay is the same as in the board game of the same name. The player's goal is to properly position the ships and destroy all enemy ships and prevent the enemy from destroying them all. The game is turn-based, so the player cannot react to the attack right away.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The very idea of making a game based on a board game is weak considering the gameplay will be quite boring and repetitive.
 * 2) The game was released in 1993 on the NES, when the SNES had been available for 3 years, which makes the game not very advanced graphically for those times.
 * 3) Gameplay as mentioned in BQ#1. it's very boring and repetitive, all you do is place the ships and then when it is your turn you try to hit the ship.
 * 4) The opponent's artificial intelligence is quite stupid, it hits the center of the board all the time and not at its corners, so it is possible that it will not even hit.
 * 5) * And if that was not enough, if you position your ships at all angles, the enemy will hardly hit you at all, which makes the gameplay even more boring and repetitive.
 * 6) All the levels are the same, the same number of ships and the same types and types, and the same size and appearance.

Good Qualities

 * 1) Putting aside the mentioned in BQ#2. fact that the SNES was released 3 years earlier, the graphics and animations are pretty decent by NES standards.
 * 2) * Both the animation and the graphics in the menu make quite a big impression.
 * 3) The game's soundtrack, while only six tracks in length, is great and fits very well with the game.
 * 4) * There have also been a lot of remixes that are even better, and here is one of them.
 * 5) The front cover of the game with 3 ships, thanks to the fact that it is rich in details, looks very good.
 * 6) Unlike the sequel, the game is playable.
