This type of game thread

It's summer and I'm on a kick of that late 80's/90's beachy/oceanography kind of thing.
Would love more games that have this specific kind of aesthetic, but anything goes really

>anything goes really
By that I mean, stick to the beachy/oceanography type theme
But they don't all have to have a James Cameron submarine.
Wind Waker and Mario Sunshine and Wave Race 64 are fine
>>

I love this shit but the framerate kills me. I usually ignore this kind of thing, but for some reason in Treasures of the Deep it drives me up a wall. Still love it, would love to play more like it.

If you like RTS games, you might check out Submarine Titans.
I feel like it has a similar realistic-ish submarine aesthetic

You've also got stuff like Critical Depth on the PS1 which is a multiplayer oriented thing, kinda like Battle Tanx
or stuff like Aquanox and Archimedean Dynasty

Enemy Infestation is a PC game that occupies a crossroads between Xcom, Aliens™, and late 90s RTS games that takes place in research facility at the bottom of the ocean.

Dr. Riptide for DOS
>>
Critical Depth
Twisted Metal but with underwater subs.
>>
The original Tropico had a tourism focused expansion pack, perfect for tropical summer vacation vibes.

Operation Neptune (DOS) was my jam in the early 90s.

The endings in that game are insane even by the standards of singletrac. The soviet one in particular is....special.

Divers dream
Blue legend of water
Fluid

Come on, dude. We all know what games there are. Post some screenshots for the vibe, share some stories, explain why you like them. Don't just write a grocery list.

Agreed, though some of them are cool. Captain Cutlass' is my favorite.
>>
>>12614820
I’ve always been curious about the Aquanaut’s Holiday games and later on Everblue. Not retro, but I love the Wii Endless Ocean titles.

In The Hunt is a great SHMUP I like
Love the ocean warfare aesthetic, as I do with Dolphin Blue, and Aqua Kitty.

Yeah, it is a fun "Metal Slug" style shooter, but the aesthetics are superb, great sprite art.

Flycast emulates the Arcade version fine, you just need the Arcade bios in the same folder you place the DreamCast bios.

Even my 2014 Galaxy Note 10.1 Tablet can emulate it full 30fps

Played the demo a lot as a kid. I remember you had to be creative when trying to kill the aliens, and different items could have random effects. Like trying to spray an alien with a fire extinguisher could heal it, etc
>>
James Pond: Underwater agent. I played the second, Robocod, a lot on the amiga as a kid.

Ah, thank you anon! I will have to look into that

Man, I visited an aquarium as a wee lad and there was a dolphin petting pool. It was very cool, and I've been having intense nostalgia for that kind of thing.
This isn't really videogames, but I was looking up stuff on Archive.org and stumbled across this VHS tape about Atlantis resort in the Bahamas, and I've been cracking up over the "Magical Password"
https://archive.org/details/atlantis-paradise-island-bahamas-a-sun-international-resort-and-casino-1994

Your key to the secret ancient paradise of Atlantis is "Magical" and "Friendly" hahaha
