You are captain of the very first nuclear powered submarine of the US Los Angeles-class (or, if you prefer, you can also command a USSR Alpha class nuclear attack submarine). The American submarine is more modern, and equipped with more different weapons. The soviet submarine overall is able to manoeuvre faster.
Each side offers 10 missions in a cold-war scenario for you to solve, with every subsequent mission increasing in difficulty.
688 Attack Sub was one of the first games that offered multi-player capabilities, allowing the player to engage another player over a modem, or a direct null-modem cable.
