Havarie (aka ponorka) : (4.4Mb)
Aim:
Repair a pipeline underwater in this 3D submarine simulation. I found the game a little frustrating at first, but that’s because I’d not made a note of the controls. The menus aren’t in English so make sure you’re familiar with the menu buttons and the key bindings for this game. It looks fairly basic by today’s standards, but the game play is okay.
If you like underwater adventures both Bioshock and Bioshock 2 are probably the best of the ‘underwater’ genre, but Aquanox 1 and II which can be purchased from Good Old Games (just Google GOG) for next to nothing are also excellent alternatives.
Game play:
First you have to pick up a pipe. (red spot on the mini-map)
Dive to the maximum depth and right above the pipe (till you just see a small piece of the pipe). Then lower the hook (F1). If you got the pipe, the hook will automatically pull up after grabbing the pipe. Then you have to search the broken end of the pipeline. You can recognize it on the green bubbles that left the broken pipe. (you cannot find this on the map). Sink as close you can and lower the hook again. If the pipe fits in, the hook will be released and lifted up. Now you have to pick up the next pipe... And so on till the pipeline is completed. Check your oxygen from time to time. Go to the surface to fill your supply oxygen. note: You cannot climb high enough when you carry a pipe. And you cannot drop a pipe anywhere, except on the right spot. Take care to watch the time. You have to complete the pipeline within a limited time.
Summary:
• looking for pipes- Pipes can be found according to a map which can be viewed by pressing key nr. 1
• grabbing pipes - You sink into the maximum depth so you’d have the pipe parallely under your sub with a little piece of the pipe sticking a little bit ahead of the nose of your sub. You lower the hook (F1) which gets pulled up automatically after grabbing the pipe.
• placing pipes - You need to find a broken end of piping (it’s purposefully not shown on the map) with a green liquid running out of it and place the pipes. Sink as close to the broken piping as possible and lower the hook with grabbed pipe. If the pipe fits in, the hook will be released and lifted up.
• pumping of oxygen - You climb with the sub as high as possible and oxygen will start pumping in. You won’t be able to climb high enough if you have a pipe grabbed. You also can’t drop a grabbed pipe!!
