Gunboat is a river patrol combat simulation for the TurboGrafx-16. You operate a military patrol boat from both the pilot’s position and its weapon stations, dividing attention between navigation and combat. Missions ask you to move through dangerous waterways, identify threats, and bring the right weapons to bear while keeping the boat operational.

Gameplay
From the pilot’s station, control the boat’s direction and speed while watching the instruments and the water ahead. Switching to a gunner’s station gives a different view and control of its weapons. The bow, midship, and stern positions cover different parts of the surrounding area, so the direction of an attack affects which station is useful. A target may require you to adjust the boat’s position before it can be engaged effectively. Mission preparation includes choosing equipment, and briefings provide the objectives that guide each patrol. Practice options let you work on piloting and weapons separately before combining them during a mission. The central challenge is managing those linked jobs: navigating safely, getting a clear line of fire, and responding to hostile targets. Its instrument panels and station changes give the action a deliberate simulation structure.
