Hi. I would like to announce a new open-source game for Silicon Graphics IRIX systems called Mini-Sub. The Mini-Sub game is my entry for the RetroChallenge 2013 Winter Warmup Contest. The game combines retro computing, miniature submarines and exploding sea mines. The game works on IRIX/Mac/Linux systems. :)

Game Description
In the Mini-Sub game you have to navigate a dangerous ocean filled with sea mines. You can use your torpedoes to clear a path through the mine field. Along the way you can pickup extra lives and more torpedoes.

The red sea mines take 1 torpedo hit to detonate and the grey sea mines take 2 torpedo hits to detonate.

You can read more about the game on my blog:

Download
You can download the game here:
Mini-Sub.zip (4.6 MB)

Thanks for your time,
Andrew Hazelden

Thanks for the suggestion Vishnu!

Instead of adding a blue meanie with a woolly coat, which of the following things would you like a "meanie" blue sea mine to do:
  • Magnetically attracted to a passing sub :?
  • Be nearly impossible to blow up :lol:
  • Proximity mine that detonates automatically if the sub passes near by :evil:
