ScubaVenture: The Search for Pirate's Treasure is a 1993 action video game. The game was developed by Apogee on contract for Softdisk in 1991, and was marketed as a Softdisk game; Apogee developed the title on behalf of id Software (being the final game they owed Softdisk),[4] in order to let them focus on developing Wolfenstein 3D (1992).[5]

Plot[edit]

The player character dives in the Caribbean sea to search the sunken wreck of the Barbarosa to search for treasure and uncover the mystery being disappearing explorers.

Gameplay[edit]

The player swims around a number of shipwreck levels with a speargun with limited harpoons for attacking enemies. The player also has a limited oxygen supply and vitality. Vitality is replenished with collectible hearts and oxygen is refilled by picking up tanks.
