Developed by Sculptured Software and published by Black Pearl Software, seaQuest DSV arrived on the Game Boy as a shooter.

Sculptured Software also made WWF Superstars 2, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Kingdom Crusade for the Game Boy.

seaQuest DSV is a single-player game, so it's one to enjoy at your own pace.

Pick it if…

  • you want to fight, blast and test your reflexes
  • you have time for an evening or two (roughly 1–6 hours to see it through)
  • you've played the Game Boy hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you are not a fan of fast-paced aiming and twitch reflexes
  • you are looking for something to play with friends

What playing seaQuest DSV is like

Shooters are built around aiming and firing, from first-person corridor blasters and light-gun games to run-and-gun stages and multidirectional arcade shooters.

Tip for newcomers: Retro shooters were designed for CRT TVs and original controllers; light-gun games in particular need special hardware or alternative controls on modern screens.
