Das Boot: German U-boat Simulation is a submarine simulator video game designed by Paul Butler and Rick Banks and published in 1990 for Amiga and MS-DOS by Three-Sixty Pacific. The game was inspired by the 1973 novel Das Boot and its 1981 German film adaptation.
The player takes command of a German Type VII U-boat and plays missions against the Allies which involve combat against aircraft, anti-submarine warships, and other submarines. The game was touted to feature 256 VGA Color, 3D Views, and historical realism.
The MS-DOS version was released on 3.5" floppy disks and came packaged with a copy of the novel of the same name.
