Mediocre clones of Space Invaders and Depth Charge.

Shoutouts to Die Hard Arcade/Dynamite Cop for making me play this to grind extra lives so I can actually finish that game. Given the vintage of this game it's understandably simple. You are a boat and you can drop bombs on the left or right of your ship to hit submarines for big points while dodging the submarine shots. Kinda like a backwards space invaders that goes on forever, i guess. The bombs you drop fall extremely slowly so the whole strategy comes from dropping them in advance so they can run into the subs eventually. I have no idea how arcade accurate the version in dynamite cop is but I hope the saturn could faithfully recreate an arcade game from the 70s. Not much else to really say here, I literally didn't even mean to play this but those lives werent going to earn themselves
