Anyone else remember a game from 1990 called Action Stations?

It was a WWII naval sim. Graphics we minimal as it depicted the CIC battle map. But it was one of the more enjoyable and exciting naval sims I played as all the effort was in the historical accuracy and the game play instead of graphic eye candy.

I remember playing that on my 386 and how slow the calculations were and when I upgraded to the blazing 486 with the extra fast 25mhz processor how much faster the math went.

It was a good example of how a good simulator does not need glitzy graphics to be enjoyable.
