Play Battleship on GBC Online
Command your fleet, place ships on a grid, and take turns firing shots to sink the enemy in this strategic take on the classic board game.
Hasbro Interactive released Battleship for the Game Boy Color in 1998, a time when portable adaptations of board games were common but not always deep. This version stood out for adding a single-player campaign alongside the expected two-player mode, giving the classic guessing game a little more life beyond just passing the handheld back and forth.
You control a fleet commander, placing your ships on a grid before taking turns firing shots at the opponent's hidden fleet. The main objective is to sink all enemy ships before they sink yours. Signature mechanics include the campaign's mission structure, which introduces obstacles like minefields and even occasional UFO sightings that disrupt the grid, and the two-player link cable mode that recreates the tense, silent bluffing of the original game. The pacing is methodical, demanding patience and prediction rather than quick reflexes. It feels surprisingly strategic for such a simple premise, turning each hit or miss into a small but meaningful event.
