WinDepth

WinDepth is a remake of the arcade game Depth Charge, where you attack multiple submarines from a single destroyer by dropping depth charge barrels on them from the top of the screen, while moving side-to-side to avoid the submarines attacks of torpedoes and contact mines.

There are six different enemies, four sub types, a brain-like tentacle enemy, a green fish-guy and a boss in the later stages.

Multiple close sub hits with chained explosions gives multiplied score points. At times there is a power-up to collect if you hit a special green fish-target, which gives you an aerial support strike.

The player has five destroyers in total, used one after the other, and there are twenty stages in the game after which the game goes back to the first stage. A high-score list tracks your progress, and this could also be uploaded to the developers website.

The developer also made an earlier DOS game on the same theme, called Super Depth, and WinDepth was an early Windows 3.x adaptation of this using a WinG graphics implementation, which later was updated to DirectX for Win95.
