Sailor Steve,

Thx for the welcome. I'll look into DosBox, but at this stage of the game and after seeing the previews of SH4, I would just as soon wait for SH4.
I believe you are correct about Das Boot, but am pretty sure life on a u-boat was ever harded that depicted.

I agree COB, "the closer one is/has been to 'the real thing', the less one can play these games", but would add, it's not a case of "can't play" for me, but rather a case of "do not want to play".

And while not being Navy, I've still been in a majority of the worlds oceans whether I wanted to be or not.. I've also lived in Japan, 400 north of Tokyo, in Misawa to be exaact, and was not sure how I was going to deal with that when I was first informed that's where I was being sent. But it worked out well; I had a great time and would go back again. Also, thx for the book recommendations.


And like you COB, I can see myself popping for one of those near $50 early releases...

Cheers

I know people who served in the merchant navy and were torpedoed. Doesn't bother me at all to play SH3. I did however delete Horst Wessel from my grammaphone.

As long as everybody has 'their' fun... the game is an Absolute Success.... 'Keep your stick on the ice.'
