Not played all that many sub games. SS2 on the amiga was the first, followed by Hunt for Red October (which honestly wasn't all that good). Then a long hiatus, and got into it agoin with SH3 and now SH4.

Woot!

Sharky broke his cherry! :rock:

:cool:

My First Sub Game....
 

Was A game called Gato released in 1985 I think for the Apple IIC. Now for some old school my First computer game was Zork played on a vax pdp 1180 mainframe.

Did a google search on the game, cus i hadn't heard about it. :yep:
This one? Looks cool! :rotfl:

LOL that's the one
 

That brings me back a long ways....

Silent Service
 

Silent Service, by Microprose, for the Commodore 64:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_...8video_game%29

Also one of the first video games I ever played, though I don't really remember how close it was to the first, since I was around 8 or 9 at the time. Maybe it was '86 or '87? I can't be sure though.

I do remember that I got good enough with my torpedoes that I could charge a convoy, on the surface, during daylight... I just had to aim for the destroyers (which were charging me) right in the center of their bow... the destroyers didn't dodge (and the C-64 wasn't advanced enough to know how unlikely a head-on torpedo hit was), so I could sink them that way almost every time. :p Then it was easy to sink the remaining 4 or 5 merchant ships left (there were never more than 5 or 6 ships per convoy, if I remember correctly). Not very realistic, but I was having a blast just like I am playing SH4. :sunny:

To charlesmester,

Could it have been a Timex Sinclair 1000?

:rotfl:

it's funny, tho. when SH3 was released, i thought about getting it but didn't:-?

The first sim that i played is SILENT HUNTER 1.:rock:

Same here. It was released in '88 when I was only 10 years old.

I can remember the wireframe representation of the ocean topography and navigating through the canyons trying to evade the Soviets.

Good times.

Silent Service and Up Periscope! Both in C-64!

Silent Service on Nintendo, late 80's/early 90's (?) My Dad was the first one in the family to get a computer, I was a late bloomer at like 40 years old! And now it's how I make a living. Go figure. But my parents would do the snowbird thing in the winter. I saw SH1 on the shelf, bought it and installed it on my Dad's 100mhz Compaq! I would head down to their house and play for freakin' hours! We're talkin' 10 AM to 11 PM!! No food and few bathroom breaks!! I was totally addicted. Bought SH2 and could never get into it. Bought SH3 just so that the sale would generate SH4 in the hopes they would finally go back to the Pacific and take advantage of all the advancement in technology. I bought 2 copies of SH4, and gave one to my brother. I haven't gotten into SH4 yet. All the negative posts have put the scare into me, but I'm starting to get the bug to give it a shot! :) Maybe tomorrow night when I have the proper time to dedicate to it.

first was sh1 (1995) and later aces of the deep(6 month after sh1). I dreamed about the program that can mixed their best features. :-). sh3 was very close to my dream.
