silent service 2
|
I still have my copy of SS1. And the Atari 520ST I played it on, but it's not set up and possibly never will be again.
|
I still have it, used to play on my old XT computer. Bought a addon Soundblaster/Adlib card just for this game! It's still in the box and I just played a game using WinUAE the other day. The Amiga version is just as good as the PC, possibly better! :D

Heh a friend of mine gave it to me once. Never figured out how to play it or how to get past the ship recognition screen or what to do there (I was a kid then, and my English wasn't that good back then).
A couple of years later, I bought a copy of it myself (which luckily for me included a manual which told me what I should actually do). Cool game and still one of my favorite subsims. |
I never did work out which version the "actual screenshot" on the box came from........... none of the ones I played, anyhow.:hmmm:
|
I remember Silent Service 2... had it for the super nintendo.:DL
|
One of my favorite game ever...
still remmeber sound track *pinghhh* *pinghh* *chiptune on* :rock: |
My old man used to Hijack my Amiga just for this game back in the day.
He was always on it when I came home from school. So its his fault I am into ww2 sub sims |
He he. Had a good manual, nice and meaty too...Ahh those were the days! Remember scouring the Pacific trying desperately to get the HUGE contact report, and remember the pulse quickening as I raised periscope to see if I finally found the damn Yamato! Always tried to find that 'screenshot' image ingame :D

Great game. I have it installed on my Amiga 1200 which I retrieved from the attic recently. Also got it running on the PC through WinUAE. I started with SS1 on the C64 and that got me hooked on sub sims. As I have mentioned before in these forums, the only disappointing aspect of SS2 for me was the lack of land masses in game which SS1 had. But then SS1 didn't have a campaign mode it was just single missions or patrols.

Ah, Silent Service 2. That's when I had to guesstimate on bearings and speeds, and getting quite good at it even at ranges upwards of 5000 yards. Nowadays I'm so spoiled with the visual aids of the Silent Hunter games that I feel uncomfortable risking a torpedo on targets more than 2000 yards away.
And how many times I lay still on 300 foot deep with Japanese destroyers circling around my location - and from 300 foot deep I would pick them off, one at a time. Bit of an exploit, using torpedoes that deep, but survival takes precedence. And tonnage. ;) |
