Got force hide? I think the game was called U-boat or U688 or something like that. Still remember watching the monochrome monitor which looked like a radar screen, and the speaker making those silly "beep" sound.

Long before the computer games appears, there were board wargames, some popular ones are "Midway", "Bismarck", etc, I think the company name that made them were called Avalon Hill. It was much more exciting to play against a human player on a board than play against a computer.....
