Okay, so Hunt for Red October on SNES is basically what happens when someone took that tense Cold War submarine thriller and turned it into a side-scrolling shooter. You’re sneaking through enemy waters, dodging depth charges, and occasionally surfacing to launch missiles at patrol boats—which, honestly, feels a little weird when you remember the movie was all about stealth and diplomacy.

The controls take a second to get used to—your sub moves in this weird diagonal crawl at first—but once you figure out the torpedo arcs, it’s kinda satisfying to pick off ships from a distance. The music’s got that classic SNES synth vibe, all dramatic and urgent, which helps when you’re desperately trying to outmaneuver a destroyer that won’t stop dropping explosives on you. Not the deepest submarine sim out there, but it’s a solid arcade-style take on the movie.
