The Hunt for Red October NES cartridge is a 1991 side-scrolling submarine game for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Beam Software developed it and Hi Tech Expressions published it. You get the loose cartridge only, with no box or manual.
The Hunt for Red October was released in North America in January 1991. Beam Software developed it, and Hi Tech Expressions published it. It is a single-player side-scrolling action game.
You command the Soviet submarine Red October under Captain Marko Ramius, who is trying to defect to the United States. The game focuses on deep sea combat. You fire torpedoes and missiles at enemy ships and subs, and you can use the caterpillar drive to slip away from enemies quietly.
The NES version was the first release of this console game. The Game Boy and Super NES versions came later. The NES cartridge also has its own final stage that the other versions do not include. In it, the game switches to platform-style play. You control Ramius on foot as he finds and disables bombs that Soviet-loyal crew members planted in the weapons bay.
Three versions of this console game exist. The NES cartridge came first, in January 1991, and it is the only one with the on-foot final stage aboard the Red October. If you want that bomb-defusing finale, the NES game is the version to own. This listing is the NES cartridge. It works with the original Nintendo Entertainment System and other consoles built for NES cartridges. Check the listing photos for the exact label of the copy you will receive.
New players should learn when to use the caterpillar drive. Slipping past enemy ships quietly is often safer than fighting every one of them, and it saves your sub for the harder stages ahead.
