Quoted verbatim from the original announcement on reset64-magazine.itch.io:
Deep Scan (VIC20) is a port of a 1979 Sega/Gremlin arcade game. More information on the original game can be found here --> https://www.arcade-museum.com/game_deta ... me_id=7543

To play Deep Scan, you must hit the moving subs with your depth chargers, while avoiding the mines launched by the subs.

Deep Scan is a 1 player game for your 32kb expanded VIC20, featuring colourful graphics, great presentation and frantic arcade gameplay. It requires fast reflexes and great timing!

Deep Scan will work on PAL VIC20s with 32kb RAM expansion.

VIC20 instructions:

Use joystick direction up/down to fire your depth charges
You can only fire up to 6 depth charges at a time
Hit subs to score points/advance the bonus
Avoid mines launched by the subs
Score bonus by hitting the red subs
Bonus advances faster as more subs are hit
Mines increase with missed subs
Deep Scan will work on a PAL Commodore VIC20, TheC64/TheVIC20 or your favourite VIC20 emulator. A file configured and ready to play on the The C64/TheVIC20 is included in the downloads, as well as a standard PRG file and D64 image.

NOTE: Deep Scan requires 32kb RAM Expansion to work.

Thanks, Miklós!

That's a fun game, with a sort of Atlantis vibe.
