Game Release
The game was initially not sold in stores, and was only available through the website www.battlefront.com. It received generally positive reviews, although the limited distribution and highly technical nature of the game meant it was unlikely to find a very large audience. In December 2005, Dangerous Waters was made available at retail stores by publisher Strategy First. In early January 2006, Valve announced it would be selling Dangerous Waters via its Steam content delivery system. The preload began January 24, 2006, and was released a few weeks later, February 7. A 570 page manual can be purchased from the Strategy First website.
Dangerous Waters was published in Europe by BlackBean Games and was in UK stores on May 26, 2006. It included exclusive European content on a second DVD (also available on the company's website. A 90-page printed manual was included in the box (consisting of the first four sections of the 570 page manual, plus appendices), with the full manual as a PDF file.

Famous quotes containing the words game and/or release:
“A man’s idea in a card game is war—cruel, devastating and pitiless. A lady’s idea of it is a combination of larceny, embezzlement and burglary.”
—Finley Peter Dunne (1867–1936)
“The steel decks rock with the lightning shock, and shake with the
great recoil,
And the sea grows red with the blood of the dead and reaches for his spoil—
But not till the foe has gone below or turns his prow and runs,
Shall the voice of peace bring sweet release to the men behind the
guns!”
—John Jerome Rooney (1866–1934)
