Kind of sounds like Canyon Bomber for the 2600, except, as you'd guess from the title, you're bombing a canyon (for some reason) instead of a ship.

very same concept but upgraded to 8 bit i think

All this classic gamin' talk made me dig up a MAME emulator for my Mac.

For those who don't know what I'm talking about, MAME is an arcade ROM emulator for PC/Mac which basically enables you to play an arcade perfect (okay, sort of) version of the original games. Tricky part these days, is finding the ROM files. Since they're not exactly legal unless you own the actual hardware.

A few years ago, I downloaded what at the time was a "complete set" of MAME ROMs from BitTorrent. Something like 16 GBs worth. I think it took two or three weeks to get the whole thing.

Turns out there was one part of the RAR archive missing, which left the whole thing unusable.

Silent Service II?  I LOVED that game.  No telling how many hours I spent playing it.  I've got the floppy disks here on my desk, but one of the disks went bad.

I remember the sub game.
Which reminds me of Battlezone. Loved it.

Also loved Assault and the music associated with it (several years later).
I like the two stick tank controls and they way you could pop the tank up and shoot a long distance mortar type round.

Pong anyone?!?
