Archimedean Dynasty was great fun, not least the joy of trying to pilot
a sub
capable of 20 knots into a 30 knot current. I have distinct memories of
sneaking up on my target area, priming the weapons, hitting full power,
leaping towards them and then gradually drifting away backwards in the
current.

Nice load of background info that came with it too. I used it as an RPG
setting for a while, sort of underwater cyberpunk.
