About Battle of Atlantis (set 1)
Comsoft's 1981 shooter tasks players with clearing six tables by utilizing a multi-directional laser and torpedo-bombs. Navigating through underwater environments, you must destroy floating mines, avoid bombs from destroyers, and target exploding sharks. Destroying fuel tanks throughout the stages allows players to build up a high score bonus while eliminating all opponents.

Battle of Atlantis (set 1) — play guide
What Battle of Atlantis wants from you
Battle of Atlantis (set 1, Comsoft, 1981) is an underwater shooter across six tables: multi-directional laser and torpedo-bombs clear mines and destroyers before continues empty. Shot honesty beats spray. Learn set 1 mine and crater tells cold—do not paste Scramble charts blindly. Calm first tables until torpedo windows are narratable; atlantis chrome is packaging, not free shields.
First minutes in Battle of Atlantis
First tables: take clean laser shots, use torpedo-bombs on plan, ignore scenic bait that invites empty-mag spray. Power-cycle once so Comsoft chrome stops looking like Scramble. Early tables teach Battle of Atlantis grammar: planned torpedoes before spray routes that die mid-table when denser mine packs arrive.
Core systems in Battle of Atlantis
Multi-directional laser, torpedo-bombs, mines/destroyers, six tables, lives/continues, and Battle of Atlantis UI define the systems. Skill is weapon literacy under pressure—not spraying lasers into every mine. After continues, reconfirm table state before racing again. Keep a one-sentence torpedo rule before the second table.
Score, continues, and resources in Battle of Atlantis
Table clears and survival score the run; hits tax continues. Continues are coins. Fewer panic sprays and fewer wasted torpedoes keep credits alive. Farming early tables forever without reading denser packs still leaves set 1 unread. Progress is Comsoft chrome that no longer forces death loops mid-table on later boards.
Mistakes that burn credits in Battle of Atlantis
Spray-firing every mine, wasting torpedoes on thin packs, ignoring destroyer tells, tunneling on scenery while a bomb finishes you, and freezing until the screen fills burn credits. Power-cycling mid-tilt without a plan burns another credit. Next credit: laser clean, torpedo when dense—stop mash tourism for scenery and mine panic on later Comsoft boards.
Next steps after Battle of Atlantis
When Battle of Atlantis tables clear without constant death loops, compare Scramble or other underwater shooters deliberately, then return with torpedo drills on set 1. Keep playing until panic-spray empties stop ending sessions mid-table on later boards. Cousin underwater cabinets help as contrast after Atlantis feels automatic—not as escape from tables you still freeze for chrome. Clear one full table carefully before you chase vanity spray again.
