Back in the days when men were real men, women were real women and small furry creatures from alpha centory were real furry creatures from alpha centory dared to explore the unowned galaxy and thus the empire was forged.

Oops what was I drinking. :oops:

Well my first one was on the old 16bit Sega Mega Drive 688 Attack Sub, never got the hang of it. :damn:

And then years latter on my first PC Win95 I saw this bargain of a game for £2.00 and it would take me down the road of this whole series, yes it was Silent Hunter then SH2 and from there SH3 and SH4. :D

GATO, as long as my father had an XT. After he had upgraded to an AT it was no longer playable.
Recently tried it again on my current machine: just one blur and then the 'periscope' shatters.

I might have everyone beat for oldest subsim. SSI's Torpedo Fire for Apple II+ (1981) was my first computer game. I soon afterward learned Applesoft Basic and began writing my own sub sims.

for me it was Silent Service 2, then Aces of the Deep, Silent Hunter 1, 688i, Sub Command, Dangerous Waters and Silent Hunter 4.

My first sub sim game was the Seawolf game for pc. Man that was a good old game.

Good 'ol Gato
 
First subsim for me was Gato for the IBM 8088 PC with a 40 meg HD. If i recall you could re-arm at a sub tender as well. Not much too it though. I was pretty young as well. Most played was Fast Attack. Actually beat all the scenarios.
