Dive Alert is a role-playing game released in 1999 for the Neo Geo Pocket Color, developed by Sacnoth and published by SNK. Depending on the region, you may also know it as Dive Alert: Matt's Version or Dive Alert: Becky's Version.

It belongs to the NGPC's earliest wave of games. Other notable NGPC releases from 1999 include Pac-Man, Sonic the Hedgehog Pocket Adventure and Metal Slug 1st Mission.

Sacnoth also made Faselei! for the NGPC.

Dive Alert supports up to 2 players, whether that means taking turns or going head-to-head.

Pick it if…

  • you want to get lost in a long quest
  • you have time for an epic journey (20+ hours of adventure)
  • you have a friend to play against
  • you've played the NGPC hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you want instant action rather than menus, story and grinding
  • you only have a few minutes at a time

What playing Dive Alert is like

Role-playing games trade reflexes for strategy and story. You build a party, level up, manage equipment and travel across a large world, usually through menu-based battles.

Tip for newcomers: Retro RPGs can require some level grinding and rarely tell you exactly where to go next. Talk to every townsperson, save often and use a guide if you get stuck: there is no shame in it.
