From Wikipedia:

In the opening sequence of the game, a soup can discarded from a boat smashes 
the home of what seem to be (and are) a race of tiny submarine humanoids. The 
player takes the role of the survivor of this disaster, a freelance sub captain 
who must buy, sell, trade, and pirate his way to the top in a cutthroat world of 
underwater adventure. When you start the game, you discover that the Bohines, a 
nation in the game, are at war with the Prochas, another nation.

To survive and prosper, you can engage in various mining or salvage operations, 
recovering enormous bottlecaps, cigarette butts, thorium crystals, and pearls, 
all of which are valuable commodities sellable in cities. However, one must 
watch out, as both mutant fish and dastardly Pirate subs lie in wait for the 
unsuspecting. Once the player has built up enough cash, they can begin to 
exploit a form of 'stock market' in which various commodities can be purchased 
and resold at other locations or times for higher prices.

Should these mundane activities begin to become boring, the player can also take 
on various missions for either of the two warring nations. As the game 
progresses, these missions become progressively more difficult and dangerous, 
ranging from dropping depth charges down the air vents of an underground base to 
attacking nuclear-powered torpedo-firing walking tanks. Eventually the two 
nations come to terms in order to meet and defeat their mutual foe, the Pirates. 
The final mission consists of an all-out assault by both nations against the 
concealed Pirate city, with the player shooting their way through heavily 
guarded tunnels to plant a bomb next to the city.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Archive Contains:

1. Retail Image including CD-DA soundtrack
2. nGlide v0.96 3DFX Glide Wrapper
3. Pre-Installed game archive located in the "installed" directory.

Running on Modern Windows:

This game's installer is 16bit and may cause problems on modern systems while 
also being incompatible with 64bit machines. To avoid these potential installer 
issues, I've included the game pre-installed that can be extracted where 
desired.

Installing:

1. Install nGlide 3DFX Wrapper

2. Extract the contents of the file "Sub.Culture.rar" located in the "installed" 
   directory where desired.

3. Next, browse to the game directory and open the file "CDDRV.CFG" in a text 
   editor and change the letter to the optical/virtual drive that contains the
   game image. Note that the syntax requires only the drive letter without
   colons, etc. Currently it is set to F

4. Set the following compatibility options on "sc3dfx.exe"
   A. Disable visual themes
   B. Disable desktop composition

Mount or burn the image and run sc3dfx.exe to play. Be sure that the correct
drive letter is reflected in the file "CDDRV.CFG" 
The 3DFX version of the game is emulated perfectly using the nGlide wrapper.
