AQUAVENTURE (TM) (1 PLAYER)

Enjoy this unreleased Prototype game from the Atari’s Vault!

You’re a world famous treasure hunter on the trail of Calico Blue’s sunken pirate ship. Recently your salvage crew has discovered the location of what it thinks is Calico Blue’s treasure based on his last known coordinates. Discover what the ocean depths hide as you dive to retrieve the hidden treasure.

Explore The Ocean Depths

You must dive to the ocean floor to retrieve one of Calico Blue’s treasure chests, which is nestled at the bottom of a trench in the sharp coral reef. Your little buddy Trax the Sea Turtle is waiting for you back on the beach, hoping for your safe return and keeping track of your air. If Trax reaches the Air sign at the far end of the screen before you complete the level you loose your chance and pass out. You have 4 dives before your expedition runs out of money to continue the hunt, and your game is over.

Along the way you must avoid poisonous fish, sea horses, and other underwater creatures attempting to block your path. If any of them touch you, you’ll go in to shock and have to start the dive over after getting rescued by your crew. You’ve come prepared however, armed with a spear gun which you can use to kill the creatures. Alas, it’s only a temporary reprieve, because each enemy you kill is soon replaced by a faster and indestructible version of itself. Of course there’s also the razor sharp walls of the coral reef to worry about as well!

Once you hit the bottom of the reef, retrieve the treasure and return it to the top of the cavern. The treasure chest is so heavy, and it’s such a strain to get it all the way up. What will you do? Maybe that beautiful mermaid swimming your way can help? Or is it just a trick of the deep?
