Underwater pyrotechnics.

Subwar 2050 Complete, an excellent DOS-era fighter sim with great gameplay mechanics and stylish visuals, set in the middle of future corporate war under the sea, is available now on GOG.com, for only $5.99

The calm dark waters of the ocean. Whatever happens at the bottom, there's nothing on the surface to indicate any trouble, pain, nor death. Maybe just a ripple. Better part of our planet is covered by water, so it's no wonder that humankind rushed in to seize control over the oceanic reaches at one point of its history. The corporate greed and lust for power knows no boundaries, and for the CEOs of the great corporations it makes no difference whether a spot on their map lies on land or under the sea. After all, they're not the ones to fight the war, piloting the state-of-the art aquatic warships. That part of corporate warfare is all yours to handle.

Subwar 2050 Complete makes you a mercenary pilot of futuristic submarines, performing various missions in the course of corporate war for domination over the oceanic floor. You'll have to master specific underwater fight tactics to emerge victorious out of the game's many campaigns. With an original setting, complex maneuvers, deep and satisfying gameplay, and a great selection of missions this is one of the best fighter sims in existence, whether in space, mid-air, land, or sea. The Complete edition includes The Plot Deepens data-disk, adding more weapons, new submarines, and extra three campaigns into the game.

Prepare for amazing aquatic action from the golden age of DOS games. Get Subwar 2050 Complete on GOG.com, for only $5.99!
Never heard of this, but looks really interesting.
So only three releases this week? Well I'm glad 2/3 of them are old games at least.
Has anyone picked this up? or have you just like me wishlisted it for later;) I would love to know what the undercurrent magazine in the extras is?

mondo84: Cool release!

While the gameplay is different, Subwar 2050 reminds me of 688 Attack Sub.

trusteft: Yeah, they are like nothing alike lol.
Yea I know, I just meant the "submarine" context.
Purchased, downloaded. I just LOVE all those additional 'papers' they were selling in the old times...Much better in building game atmosphere than all those fancy cut-scenes.
Well, this is a pleasant surprise. I have never played this game, but I am a fan of submarine shooters. I shall have to wishlist it for now, though, as I bought this week's Indie Promo.
Wow wow wow. Congrats to Kreidos. He nailed it way back when...

Crosmando: Looks cool, wishlisted for now, but is there only one new game today, don't tell me that crappy Fez game took it's spot.

Does anyone remember another submarine sim game for the DOS in the 90's? It had bases and stuff, and heaps of customizations.
Submarine Titans?

BTW, I hate to be nitpicky, but this is important to me. On the game page, it says this game is from Interplay, but it was actually published by MicroProse.

I think they have to display who is the current owner of the rights, not the one who first published it.

If you do recall who the original publisher was for titles in GOG's catalogue, could you help with updating the GOGWiki? I am usually unsure about original publishers, thus leave it empty, but I would love a list of those so I can update it.
If you already have a GOGWiki account, feel free to update them yourself, though if you haven't, you'll have to ask someone else to modify it, since atm the registrations are closed due to a spambot influx :/

I had no idea there was a Wiki, but sure. :)
