Navy Seal

Navy Seal description

Marines, as you know, is the coolest, strongest and most skillful of all the people in uniform. They have their own "day", unlike commandos or guards, but there are challenges that can only be they. In any of the three environments (land, air, water, and if necessary – and on fire, under water, and under the earth, and in space – anywhere) or have something bad happen, no matter what the historical circumstances were, no matter how strong the enemy – all know: when hope is gone - cause the Marines. And, as in most "real" armed forces, the marine corps is the squad – which takes "most of the" to accomplish the impossible and unimaginable tasks. In this game you just have to try a shoulder straps such a "specialist".

Navy Seal is a simulator of a marine-commando. NOT an arcade game – in any case, do not be fooled!!! The most real simulator, with such a history of games and didn't know neither before nor after. The complexity of this game goes beyond the complexity that usual not even a modern player, and the player as such, she was elevated to the degree of absurdity and conquered a factor that came into play of real life luck.

Formal Navy Seal is very short – only three missions, not related to any story that looks different, which takes place in different places of the globe. However, each mission is divided into some stages, totally different game mechanics. In the first mission your task is to jump from the plane into the water and then swim under water a certain distance, then clambered to shore, and secondly – again to jump into the water crowded with enemies, and sharks, in the third to sneak on the enemy military camp.

Sounds simple, as usual? Of course – is not any arcade or shooter, right? But NO. Take, for example, the first mission. You need to parachute in the water? You need: a) to have a liferaft; b) to have a parachute; C) to jump at a certain point, at a certain moment to open the parachute (it's too late – there will be death too soon is also not an option, and the enemies can notice) and at some point close to (and sometimes confusing in its folds and sink), and even to land on the inflatable raft (if it is not beneath us - that is also death).

To understand that you have to jump at the moment when the raft take off, not so hard (although it is also one you will not explain here do NOT explain ANYTHING), but how to recognize those specific seconds (and at the time of your flight (not on – to!) the big blue timer slowly and monotonously ticking) when to open and close the parachute (by the way, to re-open the parachute would be impossible!)? No way. Only by trial and error, well, if you're lucky. And not only that – you need to land EXACTLY on an inflatable raft, not even on the edge of it, and in the center! And in the water... And it may well be so that the raft will just take to a party when they are discarded. In this case, too.

You think that after such a nightmare first mission ends? No, is just the beginning – we have to swim under water among the enemy combat swimmers, that we are not happy, and it is still more difficult - they (and we) are armed M75S1, underwater harpoon gun that shoots spears (one hit from death). And then - again on the beach, but the shore of the enemy's military base...

And the second mission (u) begins with the fact that we need to jump from a rope ladder of a helicopter in the sea, shark-infested, and calculate the exact time when the place of our intended landing when jumping sharks is not. And then again scuba diving and playing hide and seek with death from other people's copies, and teeth, and have to navigate by ear (Yes, that's it)... In the third mission (the simplest of the three, if that word to the game at all applicable) to be quiet advancement into the enemy military camp in the tropical jungle. Enemy infantry then not so little, and though they miss, but shoot to kill.

You probably think that this game still have something "normal, human" - "life", "bonus", "saving". NO. Forget about all of this. Is life is there? No. And there is no. The mission cannot be saved – only to start from the beginning (that is, to go back to the hell that is the beginning of any mission). There are no bonuses, extra ammunition and other things. There are no "lives" - only one, the one that was given to our hero from God and that in these terrible places is not worth a penny. And here kill. Kill 99% of the cases with ONE shot/hit/bite. Because, how can someone withstand a direct hit by a heavy spear?.. Sometimes, of course, that the machine only hurt (the third mission), but it is rare.

The graphics are extremely conditional, and you could even say it is bad (although tropical backgrounds in the third mission look good). But this is done deliberately (otherwise there would not have supported EGA adapters): only in such terrible graphics and you can create a game to reinforce those incomparable sensations which this game is. View here for the most part, or top, or side, and this prospect may mislead the naive fans of arcade battles over genre and the difficulties of passing this game.

How can you reach a verdict? Just as unusual as the game itself. Yeah, she gets my ten points as an absolute and unconditional winner in the nomination "the most difficult old game", but no recommendations at this time will not be. If you just love computer games (even those considered "difficult") and want to relax behind the screen or even to "rest behind the screen extreme" - it is in any case not your game, there are thousands of other, have pity on your nerves.

A Navy Seal remains as the main and priceless gift that little caste crazy old bearded hardcore players that get off on inhuman difficulty situations not amenable to analysis using logic, and then announce the room a trumpet blare when they suddenly had managed by pure chance to achieve something, but only to then unsuccessfully attempt to repeat his record. However, Navy Seal may even put these people to a standstill – this game has no analogues.
