The Hunt for Red October part1 of 4

[AMSMeier]

Beethoven's 9th sounds surprisingly good in midi.

[HardWarUK]

There was a simulaion that was much closer to the movie, but no one knows about it. I have a copy of the game for my C64 and it's very tense as the Russians then American's searching for you! Very detailed sub simulation I can recommend!

[teoteous]

Did the makers of the game even watch the movie?

The giant missile submarine of the movie or the book was not exactly known for its dolphin like agility and speed. If it really happened like this then the movie would have been completely of a different sort.

[jonesy97]

Cheesiest shit I've ever seen.

[mikeeey1337]

I prefer the NES version

[zelaya999]

all this ultraviolence ( and the use of Beethoven's ninth symphony!) makes me think of "a clockwork orange"

[Shindai]

Not exactly Super R Type, is it xD

[PhazonOmega]

Played the gameboy version. That was a hard game! Beat it a couple times. Even found a couple glitches.

[STSWB5SG1FAN]

If I recall there was also a computer sim game for early PC'c based on the same theme.

[chucky428]

I finally understand why the Soviet collapsed......

[Xhizorz96]

Omg, it's looks so real man ...

[Lowen264]

One of the best games on the SNES...never could beat it tho..

[SuperLeonidas14]

One of the games of my early childhood :] hey, when you're six years old, this is the best games you've ever played in your life!

[theaterboythefirst]

Hmm, every local arms smuggling gang seemed to have a couple of dozen attack submarines at their disposal back then..

(love the movie though ;-) )

[samme79]

dont complain about the graphics.. what do u expect about a game made in 1988...

[Ahamster1]

oh oh i know Ramius and the officers created this for any future Soviet defections

[Ahamster1]

lol happy music at the start...haha!!!!

[InCharacter]

Score one for computer sounding classical music.

[skygirl1990]

wow this game looks fucking terrible! Esp since the movie is the BEST movie ever made!

[brianredneckct]

the music in this game is wayyy too cheery, in my opinion at least....

[CemkemalS]

Is there a movie where the crew of a submarine die as it sinks to the bottom of the sea?

like a movie where the crew die in the end

I am tired of watching the ones where they get rescued.

Please let me know guys

[Cowboy77]

Funny, I didn't know subs turned on a dime :P

[ACherimoya]

I swear I very clearly remember this game NOT having music! I wonder why that is... Oh well, I had a ton of fun with this game.

[NarutoUsomaki1]

That game looks awesome. I used to play the game boy version. Was great too. I miss it. :)

[darkpalatin]

looooooooool i miss these days of how gaming usto be haha

[alantang999]

beethoven ha lol

[capnjonas]

Why can't I find a video for the NES version?!

The only one I did find, the player SUCKED! 'nesguide' my ASS! He didn't make a Level 2 video cause he probably couldn't beat it.

I just couldn't figure out how to beat the boss. I think it was a submarine...

But compared to the 15,000 ton Red October, it was the size of a CITY!!!

[IAMPICTUREMAN]

OMG Exactly what i was doing!! That underwater battleship thing is IMPOSSIBLE!!! I was only able to crack the head of the ship and thats all.GOD!!

I want to beat this game because i actually bought the cartridge!!

[Rades]

I'm sean connery and this submarine is mine

[herautdeDieu]

lol!!! i thought it was the movie!

[propellermann312]

Isn't it .... ???

[CaptainRaimius]

Most games based on movies suck, but this game doesn't even try to tie in with the film other than by name. It has nothing to do with the film.

[joshman879]

this game can suck my balls.

[DrnkSqrrlProductions]

God I love the movie, but the game was just fucking aweful

[striderhyu]

this shit brings back so much memories.

[ulittlecow]

sometimes i wander how many secrets the gov has keep from us

[poszolwon]

which one

[DarkeRaven09]

Every day somebody brings this game up is another day Tom Clancy prays somebody would keep this particular secret... or dig a large hole next to the grave of ET and bury every last copy of this game next to that game).

And yes, I so played this back in the day so I can totally criticize it 'cause I experienced it.

[MelvinScout]

That's comforting to know, that this submarine fires ICBMs at will to subs above it

[69adrummer]

That song is the same one Kubrick used in parts of A Clockwork Orange! lol Now I got to go watch THAT movie! lol

[ElPolloLoco4330]

it's beethoven's 9th

[JMR6916]

Haha, gotta love the 8 bit version of the Night on a Bald Mountain from Modest Mussorgsky XD

[purder7]

i hope this comes out for the wii virtual consloe

[Herbarius]

Is this version worth playing?

The NES version really sucks, while the Gameboy version is pretty decent. I haven't played this one, the SNES version, yet. As far as I can see from the video it seems to be a whole lot easier than both 8-bit versions, but this could be misleading (seeing a video and playing a game are two different things).

The graphics are better on this one, of course, although I don't really like the looks of the Red October in this version. Looks like a toy submarine :D

[AfterShockPivot]

Ive played this on my SNES, It's ok, but like most SNES games there are no saves

[SCI78]

God how much Video Games have improved !

[goofygoat2009]

Jaysus...just get to it wil ya?. The credits come after the show.

[niccoshorts]

The NES version is much worse. The music is just brain piercing.

[Doc418]

nothing beats killing subs to beethoven's 9th symphony! Ode to joy indeed, torpedoes away!

[Ace9921]

Oh, God, I HATE the Super NES version of this game. I can't even get past the first mission!

[niccoshorts]

same

[KillerKeenan15]

i love it how beethovens 9th symphony is the tune :P

[xylaphonemaster]

Oh crikey, this takes me back! I never realised the music was Beethovens 9th back then.

[sparrowlt]

I think i like more the NES version

[emmerald222]

omg this is the best ive book marked this and watch it all the time i love u red october!!!

[kornkid89]

was this game co-op? cuz if so then this is the game i use to play with my dad back in the day

[nubz0r]

No, this game had no co-op.

[kornkid89]

hey thanks man

[ELSuperJake]

@kornkid89 I think your thinking of 'Sink Sub'. I use to play that with my dad way back when as well, actually.

[acdecoy]

LOL at the navy geeks who say this SNES game isn't realistic!... it's a game, fools.

[cybertang]

It is very amusing to see they used Beethoven for the music for this game.

[92135011]

what the heck...destroying an arms merchant base? whats going on!

[Lightcycle]

Lookos like who ever designed it really liked the choplifter games.

[Hydroculator]

Hmmm... I think the body count here is much higher than in the movie...

[chekt]

I loved the book.

[EnlightenedCcucumber]

WOW!! you were a submariner!! I want to be one. Getting a lot of gip from classmates but WTF. Not trying to outsmart you stefan but to inform everybody else: Bearing notes on the story line, in the film and the book there is no illegal arms operation. Also the Red October doesn't destroy any ships or subs.

[LtMolotov]

obviously but u must realise every movie must have conflict of some kind. The game alot of BS that a sub would never partake in. I do like however how they portray sub-to-sub combat in the movie very realistic

[iammjolnir]

actually just the sub that attacked it.

[chengloki]

Aaah, no bearring on reality at all. I'm an old fart. But I do Know that subs have no more than 12 or 16 torpedoes. I also know , Ah hell, You don't care. You kids don''t give a damn about reality. I'm an old sub sailor. Tell me you know more about subs than I do! =Stefan=

[nubz0r]

Well you are taking all this too serious. It's just an arcade computer game.

If you want more realism, you should stick with games like "Silent Hunter".

[borgeater]

This is a mockery of submarines,

[kalereborn]

Did he say monkeys?

[LtMolotov]

honestly this is a real mockery of subs indeed u and i both know that the Red October was a typhoon class MISSLE! submarine it carried less torps then a attack sub. Typhoons were meant to be as quiet as the Ohio class boomers ( for all u non navy guys a boomer is a missle sub) Also missles cant be used as sub to sub weapons. and i dont think a boomer can turn decend or rise that fast

[Inky95]

according to the book, the red october was very slow to change depth

[jamesamon2007]

Ha ha. Yeah the Red October was a type 7 typhoon class ballistic missle sub. But this is just a game. Most people don't know very much about subs. V2 Tech Sonar Tech. US Navy

[mightycowhero]

it's a game. it has to shoot and blow up stuff SOMEHOW.

[UnholyGuru]

@chengloki Only 16 torpedoes, jeez next your going to tell to me that subs dont have health repairs randomly floating on their journeyss!

[chengloki]

@UnholyGuru Subs don't even have doctors aboard. Just I.D.C.'s. Independant Duty Corpsmen. =Stefan=

[Daynknight1001]

@chengloki I read the book the sub had more than 12-16 subs war isn't the same as it was back in world war two it is no more modern than what people had in their wildest dreams back then

[Brennafugg]

Yeah because SNES was powerful enough to run a real sub sim. Jeez.

[Electricfox]

Aaah, but have you tried the NES version that was F%*($%(*W%*$£king tricky in places.

[wayne773]

I thought it was a really realistic simulation game, sigh...

[nubz0r]

What? You expected a video game with the name of a movie to be realistic? I'm just glad that it makes fun playing it.

[wayne773]

Well, I saw that some it's screen shot appears that this is a simulation games. But now, it's just action shooting arcade games. Sigh again...

[nubz0r]

Ah I see what you mean. Well, sorry for that =)

[kornkid89]

dont mean to bug u but do u remember any other co-op submarine game for the snes? i swear its what me n my dad played years ago

[nubz0r]

Sorry, but I don't even know any other submarine game for the SNES.

[Daynknight1001]

@nubz0r what system is this is this a hand held

[nubz0r]

@Daynknight1001 No, the SNES was a popular console in the 90ies. The Game Boy Advance was later some kind of hand-held-SNES.

[tragic4eva]

@kornkid89 i THInk the game ur looking for is.. In the Hunt?

[kornkid89]

@tragic4eva omg dude i youtubed it and it is! u are a hero lol i swear i played it on the snes but it ust've been on the ps1.

[bigbengamer]

@kornkid89 Silent Service was co-op capable, as the gun deflection, oil debris, emergency ballast, and other actions were executed with the second player controller. However, that was only for the NES.

[earthquake15]

i remember having this game. I used to always hate the game over sceen cuz it waz creepy.
