Gunboat Piranha 1987
Gunboat is a solid but demanding river combat simulation. You command a Patrol Boat River (PBR) in Vietnam-era missions to navigate narrow, twisting rivers while blasting enemy boats, troops, and choppers. The multi-crew management adds a layer of tension and you have to be quick-witted to man those different weapon systems. But here lies the problem, the gameplay is far too fast. It gives you little reaction time to choose the correct weapons. If the game played at a slower pace this could have been half decent.
