I love Battleship hacks. The game begs to be implemented everywhere for its simplicity. Before I learned to program I implemented it in MS Excel circa 2002. It was played over a local network as a shared file, and it relied on manual polling (file reload) and honor (don't peek at your opponent's worksheet).
I played it with a coworker during breaks in an environment that IT had locked down, but they didn't block Excel.
