The Video Game Critic

Sea Battle really deserves a higher grade than C-

Some people point to Utopia as being the first real-time strategy game, but Sea Battle came out earlier and Utopia is more turn-based.

Plus, what game from that period or earlier let your control so many varied units:  Aircraft Carriers, Battleships, Destroyers, Submarines, PT Boats, Troop Transports, Mine Layers, and Mine Sweepers.

Truly ahead of its time.

The only drawback was that you couldn't play single player.
