Games under the sea...

I have a strange question: Which Amiga games take place underwater? There are only a few which are familiar to me (in no alphapetic order):

1. 'X-Out'
2. 'Aquanaut'
3. ''Hammerfist' (well, at least the third level)
4. 'Blood Money' (second planet)
5. 'Turrican II' (world 2-1)
6. 'Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis' Laughing

7. 'Monkey Island 2' (the salvage of the monkey figurehead)
8. 'The Secret of Monkey Island' (the 'ten minutes under the water' sequence)
9. 'Turrican' (the fight against the huge piranha)
10. 'Zak McKracken' (controlling the dolphin with the blue crystal at the Bermuda triangle)

Well, that's all I remember, but I'm sure there are a lot more...

Wasn't James pond underwater? Traps n treasures had some underwater parts to it. Brian the lion has an underwater level, thunder jaws also has an underwater section. Can't think of any more off the top of my head.

Bubble Dizzy is more than moderately water-based Wink

I seem to remember an underwater level in Arabian Nights.

All that I can think of at the moment:

Disposable Hero has one; it's one of my favorites in the game, actually. Project-X also has one, and there are a few underwater bits in Apidya as well.

Bubble and Squeak and Flood have water in every level as a timer.

Elfmania has a stage with knee-deep water.

Harlequin lets you go underwater, but you have to be a fish if you want to survive.

Mr. Nutz has lots of water; some levels are submerged, and some let you change the depth.

Pinkie lets you go underwater in a few levels.

There's a fair amount of water in Ruff 'n' Tumble's cave levels.

Traps 'n' Treasures is composed entirely of water levels.

Red Storm Rising was my favourite sub sim. In fact, when grafs were limited back in the late 80s early 90s sub sims made a lot of sense. RSR really had you biting your nails too.

And yes, James Pond was indeed under the water....and a good game too, definitely worth rechecking out, I was playing it last night. Robocod is easily a better out and out platformer but James Pond is graphically better and can be infuriatingly addictive.

Wasn't there a Miggy version of Echo the Dolphin....or did I imagine that?

Do not forget the brilliantly underrated Treasure Trap where you play a deep sea diver. If you loved the old Ultimate isometric games on the C64 you will love this.

I can only add the third stage from The Spy Who Loved Me. I guess Microcosm is stretching it a bit.
