Silent Service, Atari, 1986.

Das Boot was the first subsim for me, i think i played it in 93 on my trusty old 386 though the game itself was released in 90

Seaquest, Activision, Atari 2600.

SH2 for me

...another vote for Silent Service on the C64.

Remember how the ships sank?

If not, this should jog your memory: :lurk:

I don't think I'd call that one a "Sub Sim" :hmm:

...unless you think Combat on the 2600 would also qualify as your first tank sim.

688 Attack Sub on Mega Drive (genesis)

My first was an old game I think that was built in BASIC called USS Fast Attack that ran on a home built Zenith computer back in the early 80's. I was too young at the time (4 or 5) so it required my father’s help but we'd play for hours. It still is the only game to my knowledge that actually allowed use of nuclear warheads (specifically SUBROC).

Not long after that we got a new machine and I moved on to Sub Battle.

well sure! it went up and down and fired forty billion torpedoes at sharks and stuff.

that is what modern nuke boats do, ain't it?

CAoD was my first, but 688(i) takes the prize as my all-time favorite. Nowadays, I spend most of my time playing a combination of SH4, SH3 and DW.

JSLTIGER 07-16-07 04:25 PM

Silent Service, NES 8-bit

LobsterBoy 07-16-07 08:33 PM

Silent Service 2 on an IBM 386 at about the same time as Red Storm Rising on the C64.

For some reason the sims seem to be getting harder.......

ReallyDedPoet 07-16-07 08:41 PM

Fast Attack :yep:

I know I played a few oldies, but can't think of the names.

Otherwise it's Silent Service 2 on a very ancient IBM compatible.
