It is one of my favourite games for the Atari 2600. I held the record (I believe someone beat me a couple of years ago) with a score in the 226k range, and I thought it was a pity it was never released for consoles and computers with a TI-99XX video chip (unlike most other Activision games of the period). I did start this port a couple of Christmas holidays ago I have been distracted by health issues and other projects that have come along. This update video&#8217;s main changes from previous versions are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; Top water animation (similar to the original)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; Lower half of sub hidden when surfaced<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; Sub movement, speed and firing seem good so far<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; Enemy levels change shark colour (currently a bug, as we get coloured subs instead of sharks :)).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As with my other titles, this will be available for MSX, Spectravideo, Colecovision and Sega SG-1000\/SC-3000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another update hopefully soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"322\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 490 \/ 322;\" width=\"490\" controls src=\"https:\/\/electricadventures.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Seaquest99-Dev-2026-08-17.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I dusted off my in-progress port of Activision&#8217;s Seaquest that was only released for the Atari 2600.
