Gameplay
Hunter Killer is a game in which the player is an American submarine commander involved in Pacific warfare during World War II.[1] The game features a practice mode, and 14 available missions consisting of five coastal missions, six special missions, and three attack missions.[2] The player commands a Gato-class submarine with armament consisting of 10 torpedoes and a deck gun.[3]
Reception
Mike Siggins reviewed Hunter Killer for Games International magazine, and gave it a rating of 1 out of 10 (a turkey), and stated that "As a guide, if I felt like wasting the time, I am sure I could knock out something approximating to Hunter Killer yet my programming skills are laughable. It really is that bad."[1]
The Games Machine felt that the game was not as exciting as other submarine simulations, but advised that "If it appeals to you and you can't find Silent Service in a bargain bucket, get it."[2]
John Kennedy for Amiga Computing found the game to be "a worthwhile challenge at a remarkable price" and commented that "Suddenly I find I'd rather play this rather lo-tech game in preference to the latest scrolling shoot-'em-ups. Perhaps I'm getting old."[3]
