BATTLESHIPS ONLINE GAME

Do you remember the board game Battleships? That brings back some childhood memories.

Now you can play Battleships free online. Here is how the game works:

For those who have not played Battleships before the aim is you have to try and sink your opponents ships by seeking out their hidden location on the map where their ships are.

This is done by selecting one of the square spaces on the map. If a ship is not there it does nothing. But if there is you will see a ship blow up.

To start you can enter your name or play as anonymous. It's just for scoring purposes really.

You will then have to decide where to put your several ships on the grid map. When you have set down all your ship locations the game starts.

You are playing against the computer where both of you will take it in turns try and find each others locations to destroy the ships.

I found it an easy game to play that would be suitable for most ages really. I would have preferred more colour, bigger screen and better graphics but I guess that's just online games for you.
