The game runs in a DOS emulator: keyboard and mouse work like on an old PC, each game has its own layout (see the hints in the game). There are no on-screen buttons on a phone.

First click the game screen once: after that the keys go to the game, not the page. To scroll the page again, click outside the game window. If the game does not respond, click the game screen again.

The game runs from the Internet Archive site in their emulator; there are no game files on our servers. We show it so you can get to know it; the rights to the game belong to the rights holders. The built-in player has no volume control: if there is no sound or you need to adjust it, open the game page on Internet Archive, which has sound and full-screen buttons.

Description

Search and Destroy is a WWII-era naval simulator featuring a series of marine missions, all with the goal of defending groups of friendly ships from enemy sub attacks. Each mission takes the player aboard a Fletcher-class destroyer into a different area, viewed using a zoomable map, where an enemy submarine must be located according to sighting reports received over the radio.

The destroyer is armed with a limited supply of depth charges to dispatch the attacker, using the sonar (with its two selectable range settings) and depth indicator to intercept. Enemy subs fight back with torpedoes, and all damage to the destroyer can be monitored and controlled, using pumps, flood controls and automated repair. If the attacker is successfully eliminated, the player's performance is evaluated and s/he may earn a promotion - and possibly a medal (for outstanding achievements). On the other hand, characters may be killed in action, or even demoted for desertion if a mission is aborted early. The destroyers are modeled and named after real historical ships, and the game offers several features such as mission replay (letting you watch through the previous engagement with the enemy sub visible), a Sea Trials (practice) mode, and the Hall of Valor which records the history and statistics for every character created.
