It was released in 1987 and was available for the Atari ST, Amiga, Apple II, Macintosh, ZX Spectrum, MSX, Commodore 64, and IBM PC.

In The Hunt For Red October, the player is a Russian submarine commander defecting to the West.

The playing screen is divided into two areas: the top shows maps, sonar projections, and a periscope viewpoint, while the bottom displays icons, messages, and gauges to control the ship.

[2] Antic recommended the ST version of the Hunt for Red October to fans of the novel or submarine games.
