Wolfpack is a World War II submarine simulator published by Broderbund in the 1990s, for Amiga, Atari ST, DOS, and Macintosh. It simulates combat actions between wolf packs of German U-boats and convoys of Allied destroyers and merchant vessels in the Battle of the Atlantic.
Computer Gaming World gave the game two stars out of five. The magazine stated that its claim of being a “precise simulation” with “unprecedented realism” was false, as was the claim that it supported VGA graphics beyond the opening screen. The magazine concluded, “this reviewer does not consider WolfPack to have any real long-term sustainability”, albeit enjoyable as a game.
In 1994, PC Gamer US named Wolfpack the 34th best computer game ever. The editors wrote, “There are more complicated sub sims around, but if you’re looking for nail-biting excitement and an interface that lets you experience the visceral tension of the Battle of the North Atlantic, look no farther than Wolfpack on CD-ROM.”
