A blue ocean map fills the center of the screen with a green-landmassed coastline visible along the top and left edges. A small naval icon sits in the middle of the water. The top menu bar displays text options for Test, Reset, Int, Ord, Info, Data, and Misc in white font against a dark background. Below the map, white text reads "Chutnooking (Allies)" and "We're being shelled." The date "Nov. 10. 1941 12:00" appears in the upper left corner. The color palette consists primarily of dark blue ocean, green land, and white UI elements typical of early 1990s SNES strategy game graphics.
