Here's a new way to play Battleship. Now you can launch an attack when you send e-mail to your friends and family. Choose your ships' coordinates, add a message, type in an e-mail address, and then click the "Play Turn" button. It's that simple. Your message and your missiles are sent to your opponent down the street, across the country, or oceans away. Your friends can send an e-mail letter back to you with their own moves. Both of you will see the full game displayed on a graphically rich game grid. Play classic Battleship or try out the new Fleet Commander version.

5.0 out of 5 stars How's things? And by the way, You sunk my Battleship!, June 25, 2000

This review is from: Email Games: Battleship (CD-ROM)

This game is great fun despite it's simple nature! How often do you email friends? I went from the occasional message to trading daily (at least) notes because I'm now playing a game as well. The Battleship game includes the Classic game that we've all played before. Turns are traded as email attachments and torpedos either splash for a miss or explode on a hit. Also, a jazzed up version called Fleet Commander can be played in which you can move the ships between turns and fire according to each ships unique capabilities. You can even detect the other ships with satellite to help your aim! I like the fact that both the Classic and Fleet Commander versions of the game can become more difficult by increasing the size of the grid. The person who purchases the game can initiate as many games as they want. The other players are directed to download a free "player2" version. I love the fact that you don't have to both be sitting at the computer to play and finish a game. I can send a turn and optional note and then go about other things. The only down side is that Hasbro is only committed to running the game servers until October 1, 2000. So, I'll have fun until October and hope for the best. :-)
