I remember that one, that was one of if not indeed the first game to ever come out on CD-ROM. Software Sorcery went on to release the rather dire "Aegis: Guardian of the fleet" and then the actually quite good subsim "Fast Attack" under the publisher Sierra.

The company were then to release two further naval sims "Greyhounds of the Sea" a WW1 strategy/sim and "Akula Red Hunter" obviously a subsim. However the company went belly up before it could release those titles.

Commander James R Jones the CEO of Software Sorcery turned up again about three-four years ago with the online naval game "Joint Chiefs online". I think Neal posted a short blurb about it on one of the old forums. Since then nothing, not sure if anyone tried that game, unfortunately it also seems to have disappeared. Hopefully we haven't seen the last of Cmdr Jones yet.

Bes sure to look out for the forthcoming Jutland game from Storm Eagle Studios it's looking pretty good and promises to be a very deep strategy/sim currently it's in beta so should be with us in a few months.
