Background
Ocean Software was founded in Manchester by David Ward and Jon Woods in 1984. The company were known for developing titles such as Platoon, Top Gun, Jurassic Park, and SimAnt, which were usually based on their films of the same name.[2] In 1998, the company was purchased by Infogrames and was later merged into Atari.[3] In 2004, both founders of Ocean Software received the Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association Hall of Fame award, for their recognition in "transforming" the British video games industry into a "real multi-national business".[2] The music for Navy Seals was composed by Matthew Cannon.[4]

Richard Smith of Crash heralded the graphics for their detail, colour and smooth animation, summarising that it was a "landmark in every aspect".[5] Chris Jenkins of Sinclair User stated that the graphics and animation were "fabulous", whilst focusing particular praise on the game's background details.[6] Jeff Matthews of Raze liked it.[7] Matt Bielby of Your Sinclair liked it.[8] Steve Fielder of Commodore Format liked it.[9] Two reviewers of Mean Machines liked it.[10] Robert Swan of Computer and Video Games liked it.[11]
