Ocean Commander is a shoot-em-up in which humanity's state is so dire that even global warming cannot stop (underwater) wars from happening.

As with many of CyberPlanet Interactive's casual games, it was ported to many platforms, including the PlayStation 2, the Nintendo DS, and the Wii, not to mention it even had a reskin.

Unused Graphics

Opening

All of the following graphics are found within Data\Title.

city.jpg is an unused, more "complete" variant of s5-1.jpg.

s7.jpg is a picture of a man. It is likely a leftover from a different game.

Main Menu

All of the following graphics are found within Data\Console\main menu1.

bg main menu.jpg and bg main menu_.jpg are early renditions of the game's main menu graphic, which is labeled as bg main menuLow.jpg. Notably, in both early graphics, the copyright information in the bottom right corner is missing, and in the latter, the area where the Credits button should be is replaced with a "Version 3.0" text. There is also another early file, bg main menuLow_.jpg, though its contents are the same as bg main menu_.jpg.
