Do the old stand-up arcade games count? I LOVED Sea Wolf ( http://marvin3m.com/arcade/seawolf.htm ), where you actually looked thru a periscope viewer, when I was 6 or 7 ... hooked on sub games ever since. Guess I woudn't call that arcade game a 'sim' tho, so I'd have to say Silent Service on Nintendo when I was 10 or so.
:arrgh!:

That is really cool. I am 42 and it's great to see the young generation insterested in historical topics.

Mh, I remember getting startet with SHII, i think it was in November 2001, then i was 9 yo. after the release of SHIII i saw this gold box of SHII and SHI, and buy it, so i played a couple of weeks SHI before getting started with SHIII. It was great!:yep:

My first subsim was Epyx Sub Battle Simulator on the Atari ST... I was 11 or 12 then. I've no idea how I ever managed to sink anything in there, as I don't think it had any plotting feature.

I'll certainly never qualify. When the first arcade games were coming out I was already in my thirties.

Now your a dedicated father. Brainwash your kids early, is what I always say. I love it.:haha:

God you guy's make me feel ancient.

I guess I was around 19 or 20 when Silent Service came out for Nintendo. When was that? 1989 or 90?:o

Wellllll - define "Submarine simulation". Does Avalon Hill's game "Submarine" count? (1976 - and I still own it). I was a tad old at the time - 26 yrs young.
