Seaquest is an Atari 2600 video game designed by Steve Cartwright and published by Activision in 1983. Seaquest was made available on Microsoft's Game Room service for its Xbox 360 console and for Windows-based PCs on August 18, 2010.
Seaquest is a submarine combat game in which the player controls a water vessel and must avoid, collect, or destroy various objects at different levels of depth. The player must pick up divers under water and must get air from the surface before the air meter drains out. Like other Atari 2600 games, Seaquest features two modes. The first mode is a Single Player mode. In the second mode, Seaquest features a Multi-player mode.
