Happy Hunting!

Sub sims for me started in 1986 when i bought my Commodore 64 & bought silent service then bought the atari st 520 & bought silent sevice for that computer then bought the amiga & silent sevvce 1 & 2 then Aces of the deep loved that one then moved to pc in 1992 a 486 25mghz machine silent service
1 & 2 silent hunter 1 2 3 4 & 5
of all the silent hunter series SH3 is the best one by far theres no greater satisfaction for me when writing a SH3 Campaign in the scr scripted lair in the SH3 Mission editor & then seeing the members of your clan finding one of the convoys you put in to the Campaign

I started off with Silent Service by MicroProse on the C64 then the Amiga.

The first one I played was the beautiful purple waters of the Pacific in Gato, followed shortly afterwards by Silent Service, both on the IBM PCjr. I was still a bit young when playing them, though. Silent Service II was where I really got into it, and I still bless that glorious day I discovered SHCE in the bargain bin.

Like many I started out on a C64 with Silent Service at the tender age of 12.

First it was the tape edition before I got a 5 1/4 drive.

Had a summer holiday where me and a mate lived together to play it real time. After 2½ week having one as awoke duty officer all the time (and no going sun bathing), we hadn't encountered a single Japanese ship - but man did we live it out!:rotfl2:

Welcome aboard BrianKir!

I remember being a pre-teen and doing silly things like that with friends. I never got to use a computer for those antics, since I was thirty-five when Silent Service came out, but still, all these years of sub-sims has been fun. :sunny:

Me too. Silent Service I was a "new world" a "new feeling" of gaming. Never forget the great fun with playing Silent Service II too. :yeah:

Welcome aboard!
 

Welcome to SubSim Brian :sunny:

688i and SH3... I can't remember which I got my hands on first.

Silent Service 1 on an Atari 800 XL, Epyx Sub Battle Simulator on my C=64 and later AOD on MSDOS.

Ups, You're right. It was on MSDOS.

I remember that that one. We played it on those same arcade machines during my 2nd year of college in '69. Couldn't hit many targets and spent a lot of quarters trying. LOL

Started with Silent Service on Atari 1040ST about 1985, I think, and got hooked on sub sims. Went on to Silent Service II, AoD, Grey Wolves, 688i Hunter Killer, Sub Command, Sea Wolf, Silent Hunter 1,2,3,4,5. :yeah:

For me it was Silent Service on the C64, then Silent Service 2 on the Amiga. I really got into years later with Jane's 688i though. That was the best sub sim around at the time, which led me onto SH2, then 3,4 & 5! I still have 4 & 5 and I also have Sub Command and DW.

Silent Service 1&2 are now available on GOG.com for a small fee. :D
