688, sub command and Fleet command now also available on steam

Well actually sub command is only 6 years old, 688 is about 12 years old but sub command is still a good game adn still relevant in the sub community, the difference is that Dangerous waters provides more FFG, sub, helo and air options with multi player stations, its also a good game, but unless you have at least 1500/256 net connection the lag is a killer for good synced response times in the multiplayer multistation environment, but i guess that also depends on if your playing 0/s or not, your machine and net connection.

strange, i never remember posting that...:doh:

Interestingly, in one of my trips to the mall to wait for the wife to get off work, I was wondering around EB Games, and...

...oddly...

...'Sonalysts Naval Combat Pack' was sitting there on the shelf. WTF? Well, I had to buy that! Not enough interest to order it online, but it certainly scratches the "impulse buy" itch. (Besides, I hate the massive box I had 'Fleet Command' in already, this way I can still have it in the newer, smaller box, and give my original to one of the guys at work)

So far, watched part 1 of 'A Century of Silent Service' - great program, worth the box on its own. That and 'Fleet Command' make the price worth it, although I doubt I'll be installing 688i or SC since I already have DW (caveat on SC, though - had one of the 'large' boxes of that, too, but gave that away some time ago when I got DW. If the fellow I gave it to ever really gets into it and wants to try MP, I may well end up with a need for it, anyway!)

EDIT: Additional notes. First off, this is 'SCS Fleet Command', not 'Jane's Fleet Command'. They are damn near identical, but this one is a LOT more stable, and is now branded "SCS" instead of "Jane's". All other factors aside, that's a reason to get it, right there. This game you do NOT have yet. It's just nuts this is only $19.99.

Also, this EB Games is in the location I am in - Portland, OR. Picked it up at a local mall. Market presence++!
