Power At Sea is a video game developed by Distinctive Software and published by Accolade in 1988 for the Commodore 64.
Gameplay
Power At Sea is a game in which the World War II Battle of Leyte Gulf is simulated, with the Japanese trying to capture the Pacific. The player commands a fleet consisting of a battleship, an aircraft carrier, and a troop ship, and is able to fire naval gun barrages against emplacements in caves and can direct the assault forces to take possession of beachheads.
Reception
In 1988, Dragon gave the game 3 out of 5 stars. A 1991 Computer Gaming World survey of strategy and war games gave it one star out of five, criticizing the game's abridged order of battle and arcade combat.
