Nice video of a guy bringing a modern perspective on the first in the Jane's 688(I) series.

I sure loved playing as the Alfa

I remember the game, it feels like yesterday.

Hi all - Nathan here. I made the video. I can't thank you enough for posting this here. This was one of my first jumps into the sub sim genre. I played a few others, years ago, but I can't remember them very much sadly. I had no idea there was such a dedicated community to these types of games - and now I'm going down the rabbit hole, and discovering new games, and receiving recommendations of what to play.

Again - thank you for the warm welcome, and sharing my video. You didn't have to do that, but I sincerely appreciate it.

I was fan of all subs games since the EA's 688 Attack Sub, which I modded (cracking the code in ASM language), and added sub launched missiles and many other features to the game.

Nice video!

That's really interesting. Did you crack the DOS version? Do you still have your mod you made?

Thank you! If you have any suggestions of cool, retro sub games I should check out, I'd love to tackle the genre again. I don't wanna write the genre off just because one game wasn't for me, y'know?

Oh no, I would have want it!, I was working in those years (since the end 70's) in the Cuban Armed Forces, and it was impossible to copy anything on a diskette and remove it from the building. All the magnetic support must be kept in a closed folder, by a rope embedded in a plasticine, sealed, and stored in the secret office

And yes, was the DOS version, I cracked it with the Borland C Debugger, and changed the code directly in the exe file
