The board game where you match wits with a computer

Decades ago -- when computers were first developed -- a computer would cost over a million dollars and would fill an entire room. Now, after extensive research with a leading electronics company, Parker Brothers brings you a powerful computer designed strictly for family fun. The CODE NAME: SECTOR computer is capable of making thousands of calculations per second. Its solid-state memory keeps track of players positions at all times. And its logic circuitry instantly detects collisions, counter-attacks, misfires, and hits. A combat information center contains all the controls needed to navigate within range of the sub and fire. An electronic readout, made up of light-emitting diodes, automatically displays information supplied by the computer. The computer works with you as you track down an enemy sub on a nautical chart. Being the first to sink it isn't easy. With over 3000 possible underwater locations, the sub is unlikely to be in the same place twice.

  • An electronic display provides players with complete combat information during the course of the game.
  • A ship's direction is shown on a lighted compass.
  • A steering capability allows players to change course from left or right to close in on the sub.
  • A pair of speed controls allow destroyers to travel at 9 different speeds.
  • An evasive sub option makes the game more challenging for experienced players.
  • A programmed learning sequence teaches the play quickly and easily.
  • A sonar control area is used to determine range information and to aim and fire torpedoes.
