## Description
1,000,000 square miles of open sea, your nuclear powered frigate and a fleet
of Russian ships circling you. This is the set-up of _Frigate_ a strategy
battle game taking place near the end of the Cold War.
Your mission is straight-forward. Destroy as many enemy ships as you can and
try not to die. Points will be awarded for your evasive skills as your enemies
are very well armed and for your hunting skills. Luckily your weapons are far
stronger but there’s strength in numbers. At your disposal are the following
tools; radar, sonar, anti-missile weapons, radio jammers, and of course your
ordnance.
Your view screen shows two main windows with one devoted to our ship’s status
and one command menu where you give orders and receive notes about what is
happening around you. Information is constantly being updated as to your ships
defenses and weapons as well as the position of enemies and their missiles.
The game-play is turn based and you can try and enter as many commands as you
like in the given time period. As with many simulation games there are
repercussions to damages you will receive from malfunctioning radars to weapon
arrays. Graphics are largely non-existent and almost everything except for the
title screen are text based so making your own written charts may aid you in
successfully completing your mission.
