Oh man, that reminds me, I was playing Dune 2 back then too. Something important we found out was that on a black and white monitor, the green faction are basically invisible!

1997
 

In 1997, I was sub hunting on a P-3. Playing sub games gives me the opportunity to "live" how things are on the other side of the waves.

Subsim really facilitates this. Awesome job!

Happy birthday
 

1997 was likely a year of learning a lot about music for me... I had just started learning the snare drum in a pipe band.

explored the countryside and climbed a lot of trees in the warm summer air...

That would've been around the time I build a huge catapult too... well huge compared to me at the time. The kind of catapult they built on the first episode of "Scrapheap challenge" (not the trebuchet). built it out of a spare A frame usually used in the roofing structure of a house.

Fun times.

Probably the first year in which I really noticed time passing as I was only 7 years old.

Apache Air Assault, Descent 1 & 2, Starcraft and Age of Empires are soon to become my favourite PC Games on Windows 95 and 97/98.

I can't remember what I did last Thursday :k_confused:and you expect me to remember 1997!

In 1997...
 

In 1997, I was eleven years old, and Dad was stationed in Spangdahlem AFB, Germany. That was the year we got to visit Normandy. I think that was also the year we got to see the Dutch fleet at anchor.

I'm getting old!

The game that I became obsessed with came out on Playstation 1, which led to being my name I use in almost any game I play. If you enjoy a challenge I highly suggest getting an emulator to play it! Man its crazy to think back that far, Chris Farley passed away that year, depressing...

20 years

Back in 1997...
 

Was 47 that year, married 17 years, kids 12 and 10, still working at Bell Labs in New Jersey.

I was learning/playing a lot of GO then (board game), and in the midst of transitioning from my Amiga computer to my 1st PC... running Windows 95.

Congrats to SUBSIM on their Anniversary... thanks for "being there".

'97 Lots of playing pool in dodgy places with my mates. Turned 21 in November and I don't remember anything after that.:Kaleun_Cheers:

I was about 3 in 1997.
So I could have possibly playing either 'Aladdin' or 'Gizmos and Gadgets' on the family computer (Windows 95 I think).
And I've been playing video games ever since really.
It really started my interest in computers, which I am building, programming, and having fun with to this day.

I was approximately five years old in the year 1997. I definitely haven't played any submarine simulations until about ten years later, and I don't think I knew what an internet was, but I was at least already playing games on some sort of horribly outdated DOS computer, Transport Tycoon being the first I can recall.

I'd just become a teenager in '97, and just reached High School. Games wise it was all the good stuff, Sonic, Mario, Transport Tycoon, I was mainly on consoles at that point. I was definitely interested in submarines at this point, I'd watched HFRO and saw Hostile Waters when it came out on BBC, it may be around this point that I first saw Das Boot as well, BBC2 had a habit of showing the subtitled TV mini-series version around December.
It was either this year or the next that I also picked up Fast Attack, which started my long held love for the Los Angeles class.

20 years Ago
 

I was working for the Federal Govt. at O'Hare airport when I decided to send my Godfather in Staten Island,NY a brief note and a photo.4 months later I was married to one of his daughters. I owe it all to the attack on Pearl Harbor in some mysterious way.
My father enlisted in the Navy the day after the attack in Hawaii.My wifes father was building destroyers at the Bethlehem Steel Yard in Staten Island and he enlisted in 1943 and served on a ship he had just built, a Fletcher class destroyer DD658 USS Colahan. The two men were electricians and became best friends.They sailed with Halseys fleet and saw major action,they were a radar picket ship and were attacked by kamikazes off Okinawa.
I love playing SH4,that game immerses me in my fathers experiences.His ship picked up numerous American pilots that had ditched at sea,they would get 5 gallons of ice cream from the pilots carrier when they returned them.
