688 Attack Sub – PC Review

Electronic Arts published 688 Attack Sub for the PC in 1989 and it was a game I longed for at the time due to my fascination with the early Tom Clancy novels “The Hunt for Red October” and “Red Storm Rising”. The film adaptation of the former was released in 1990 and this coincided with […]
