After reading the slow progress on Aaron's Lords of Thunder remake, I decided to raise the stakes for him by creating the ultimate PC Engine remake that will make grown men weep with joy. Two whole days in the making, once you play this, your life will never be the same again.

------------
It's the moment everyone has been waiting for. One of the best loved and most celebrated PC Engine games of all time now comes to your home PC with all the excitement and non-stop underwater thrills that made the original such a classic.
Starting the Game
-----------------
From the title screen you have two options to begin the game.
If you wish to use joystick control, just press fire for the normal mode.
But everybody knows that real men use the keyboard to play games. That's why there is now a new hard mode, which can be selected by pushing the left Ctrl button. Whereas normal mode allows rapid fire of weapons, hard mode does not, so you'll have to keep bashing away on that key if you want to get the high score.
Gameplay
--------
The gameplay of the original Deep Blue has been taken and refined as much as is possible with today's technology. The original game just 'seemed' to go on and on forever with no end. Now, this flaw has been resolved and Super Deep Blue now DOES go on forever. The number of enemy types has been greatly streamlined for this version, meaning faster recognition and a more satisfying gameplay experience.
Power-Up Weapons
----------------
If you have mega skills, you might find that destroyed enemies will release 'power bubbles'. Collect a 'power bubble' and you will gain one of three amazing new weapon systems.
Redifer - Harness the power of the ninja to destroy all who stand before you.
Keranu - Dispatch your foes with squads of powerful muscle-men who will wrestle them to the ground.
Nat - Release the imprisoned foes that tried to conquer Fantasy Land with this devastating attack.
These special weapons will not last long so use them wisely.
Health Warning
--------------
If at any time you experience eye strain or hand cramps after prolonged periods of play, you are just weak and should go and play a girls game instead.
