It will run under Win98 just fine. My computer is a P2 Celeron at 300 mhz and that's a hair too fast for good playing. :D I bought it for my first computer which was a Epson XT (10 mhz, 20 Meg HD, Dos 3.3, Soundblaster/Adlib card and a CGA monitor.)

Epyx Sub Battle Simulator will run fine on my new computer. Silent Service 1 is too fast but Silent Service 2 works great as long as I keep the sound off (it never like Windows handling the sound!). AOD hates Win anything, but CAOD works fine
under Win98. :yep:

A delayed answer is better than no answer! This was my first subsim game in 1992:down: (IBM 8086-VGA card). Yes, not bad! Although my box was diffrent.

Ive played wolfpack a lot when i was a child. i had an 8086 cga, but the game requeriments were higher, very low fps :p

nikimcbee 09-27-08 08:48 PM

For its day, it had a great multiplayer.

I got my first subsim when I was 4 or 5, I think it was that game Silent Service anyone remember when games came on these.

Then in 2001 (i think) I got SH1, was quite fun. Didnt know about SH2 Last year I found SH4, I had to get it. I couldnt go to that store without takeing a look at it again. Then oneday I asked my mom if she would get it for me and she said yes. I got SH3 after finding where I could get it. (UBI digital download). I have always been intrested in Ships, Subs, and WW2.

My very first u-boat game was out of one of those computer magazines, and it was in basic. You had to type all of it into the computer, debug it, then you could play.
It was on a vic-20 and the game was on a cassette tape.

Now that is old!

This would have been fun to play at the subsim shin dig.

OLD !!! My first computer used a wood fire for a power supply. And the game was chizeled on stone. :p Anyone got an older rig than that ?:D

Nice video for those who haven't seen Wolfpack :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Rh1Y9zgmF8

My first subsim was Silent Service on Commodore 64, really was too young to understand it. Tho, I did sink quite a few ships IIRC. :hmm:

My first "serious" subsim was indeed the Wolfpack. Got it at the same time with my first 2 flightsims, Secrets weapons of the Luftwaffe & B17.

Great game it was. :yep:

Tho, I never had sound card on the old PC, so never knew what it sounded like. :(

Sure. My first computer was powered by the big-bang and the HDD was made of condensed hydrogen, because matter didn't even exist back then :lol:

I still fire it up occasionally, quite ahead of its time in many ways. I like the fact that they had different commander AIs etc and of course having controllable surface vessels and a full scenario editor in the same package was awesome.

Novalogic were working on a sequel in 1999/2000 but sadly it got canned, it would have been interesting to see what they could do with today's technology.

me and a friend always would play wolfpack, i had the one that came with both 5 1/4 disks and 3 1/2 disks, ahh yes the earlydays, my first subsim was 688 attack sub for the sega genesis was a Bday present when i was about 4 years old (altought my dad played it more than i did..) then i got a old NES and got silent service. my first PC game was aces of the pacific i LOVED that game and still play every now and then (my god flight sims have come a LONG way (IL-2)) my first subsim on pc was aces of the deep i played the hell out of that poor game when i was like 6 years old and i still play everynow and then!
