RealMedia: Battleships


Battleships

The classic naval warfare game. Each side takes turns trying to hit each other with missiles. A fold-up board hides the fleets from each other and war begins once the ships are positioned on the grid.

The aim is to score a direct hit by calling out co-ordinates of the grid "H2"

Electronic versions of Battleship are now available; Handheld Battleship, Talking Battleship, Gameboy Battleship and Advanced Battleship.None of them can beat the original, one of a kind, board game which was launched in the UK in 1967.
