Battleship 1991

The object of the game is to sink my navy in the fewest number of shots, before I sink yours. The game board is divided in two sections. You will place your navy on the left, I will place mine on the right. Of course my ships will be hidden until you hit them. Each navy consists of 8 ships and 8 mines.
The first screen prompts you for your name. Type your name and press ENTER. You are now presented with the game board. As you move your mouse, your ship will move around the board. Press the RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON to rotate the ship.
Press the LEFT MOUSE BUTTON to lock the ship in place, and go on to the next ship. You cannot place ships on islands, and they cannot overlap each other.
If you place a ship where I have a layed a mine, that portion of your ship will explode and reveal to me the ships location. If minesweeping is activated, a box will appear around the mine sweeper showing the area it will sweep. As soon as you place the mine sweeper, it will begin to sweep for enemy mines, destroying all that it finds. After you place your ships, It's time to lay your mines. If you place a mine where I have hidden a ship, that portion of my ship will explode and reveal to you the ships location.
You will always have the first turn. Move your gun site around with the mouse. Fire with the LEFT mouse button. You start with one shot. For every ship you sink, you will receive an extra shot. If you hit a mine, you lose the rest of your shots for that turn.
If SUBMERGE SUBMARINE is active, it will show up as an option on the Main Menu. When you want to submerge your submarine, select Submerge Submarine on the Main Menu before shooting. This option takes the place of one turn. Your submarine will stay submerged while the computer takes its next turn. Then it automatically re-surfaces. If MOVE SPY SHIP is active, it will show up as an option on the Main Menu. When you want to move your spy ship, select Move Spy Ship on the Main Menu before shooting. This option also takes the place of one turn. To bring up the Main Menu, press the RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON or the ESCape key.
