Just downloading SH5 as I type this introduction.

This is my first submarine simulator since I played Silent Service by Microprose on my Commodore 64 during the mid-80s. That game came on 5.25 floppy disks. I seem to recall that it was impossible to save the game as I played. I expect to see improvements in graphics and gameplay although I do have fond memories of taking out Japanese shipping in the Straits off Sumatra. Good times.

As I get familiar with SH5 I hope to try out some of the mods I have read about. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to meet some of you at sea online.

Be careful out there,

T.J. Kong

Welcome to Subsim! :subsim:
Silent Service on the Commodore 64 was my first experience with a sub simulation too. I think you'll find a slight improvement in graphics and gameplay. :rolleyes:

By the way, you can return to the Straits off Sumatra in SH4 and go down memory lane.

Happy hunting! :lurk:
