Book Description

June 25, 1997 Prima's secrets of the games

A military simulation with the depth of 688(I) Hunter/Killer is difficult to defeat without inside information. That?s why we created 688(I) Hunter/Killer: The Official Guide. This strategy guide is packed with must know intelligence based on the simulation?s technology and presented in a clear, concise manner. It?s got the practical information you need to successfully complete missions on every level:Mission Walkthroughs: Point-by-point walkthroughs of every mission in the game, with detailed maps showing the locations, headings, speeds, depths, tactics, and proficiency levels of all friendly and enemy ships, subs, and aircraft.
Game Mechanics: Practical information available only from the designers of 688(I) Hunter/Killer, such as vessel and weapons performance, damage effects, scoring, and AI tendencies.
Strategies and Tactics: Actual U.S. Navy tactics for sensing, tracking targets, maneuvering, hiding, and attacking.
Interviews: Fascinating insight into the minds of 688(I)'s creators.


Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

688 Attack Sub is an exceptionally realistic submarine simulation, designed in large part by former Navy command officers who knew how to include everything but real-life tedium. The creators of this strategy guide maintained the feel of realism beautifully. Open the book and it looks and feels almost like a training manual with briefing documents. Almost, that is, because like the missions themselves all the boredom factors have been removed. The text is concise and clear and just military enough for satisfying role-play. Particularly interesting are the articles on real-life submarine issues that are reflected in the simulation.

Review

In-depth strategy for the world?s deepest sim.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a very helpful book, July 13, 1998
This review is from: 688(i) Hunter/Killer (Paperback)
First, the synopsis above is incorrect, one cannot command an Alfa sub in the game.

This book is a rehash (not a good one at that) of the manual. The only thing original in the book is a complete description of each mission's starting layout, but if you own the game you can learn that easily enough using the mission editor.
