nihongo|"Radar Mission"|レーダーミッション|Rēdā Misshon is a Nintendo Game Boy title developed and released in 1990 in Japan and North America by Nintendo. It was one of the earliest Game Boy titles, and was the first military-based game released for the Game Boy.

Gameplay

This title has two different modes for one or two players. You have several options to set up in both modes, in order to play in certain ways.

Game-A

This mode is very similar to the pencil and paper game, Battleship, however, there was a storyline to it. The storyline followed the player destroying the enemies fleet on the first two levels and then proceeding to the enemies headquarters on the third level. On the third level, the enemy's vessels are replaced with a large runway and tanks.

There were also additional features that added to the gameplay.

For instance, one such feature was the "Near Miss". If this optional feature was enable, then if a shot was directly next to a target ship, then a larger splash would be be seen as well as a beeping noise. Addtionally there were "Lucky Shots". The Lucky Shots were split into two; Black and White. A Black Lucky Shot would launch one missle, but if that missle hit a target ship, then it would instantly destroy that ship and any other ship touching it. A White Lucky Shot would launch a silo of missles either 5 or 9 depending on the original grid size. However, there was a hinderance in this Lucky Shot. Only hits would be displayed on the players radar. If any of the salvo were Near Misses, then the player would have to work them it themself.

Game-B

This mode allows you to set up your submarine with extra Prop Speed, shoot Twin Shots, and/or equip a Power Sonar, before battling against other ships. You move left or right slowly when above the ocean, while you move faster when submerged. You use the radar to locate your enemies and friends only when submerged. You use the B-button to attack the enemy's submarine with a machine gun, while you use the A-button to send out torpedoes at all ships. When you destroy every ship but not the enemy's submarine or just destroy the enemy's submarine itself, you win. The enemy's submarine isn't the only one that can attack and destroy you in this mode, but also fighter jets take off from aircraft carriers, while dropping torpedoes at you. Different animated endings pop up, depending on how much you scored.
