History and development
The game was released in 1986 in English and Spanish versions by Milton Bradley.
Gameplay
Game board
The game board for Torpedo Run! was very large (46.5" x 34.5") and contains squares like a chessboard or checkerboard with 10 rows and 8 columns. It was designed to be played on the floor or a very large table. With the style of game play the floor was the preferred place since table top play could result in lost game pieces.
Game Pieces
The game contained 2 battleships (1 gray, 1 tan), 6 cruisers (3 gray, 3 tan), and 2 submarine shooters (1 gray, 1 tan). The submarine could hold tiny red plastic discs that were shot at the larger ships.
Winning
The game was considered over when all an opponents ships had been destroyed. Each ship consisted of two or three sections depending on the size of the piece. Each section had to be hit precisely with a red shooting disc that would pop the top off that section. Once all sections were popped that ship was considered destroyed.
