With SH4 coming, what was the first subsim you played?
 
The first subsim I played was 'Silent Service' on the commodore back in the 80's.

SHIII and Dangerous Waters, I got them both at about the same time.

Dangerous Waters is a good game. Due to it's complexity it's a deeper game and somewhat more interesting, but it doesn't have the fun factor and graphics of SHIII. I prefer the WWII era, and since SHIII is a WWII sim and has nice graphics and a good fun factor it has kept me gripped more than DW.

Cheers

SHIII:)

My first was 688 Fast Attack on 1.44 floppy! I'm actually in a picture in the game taken in the doorway going into the Torpedo Room.

On the C-64, Silent Service and Red Storm Rising. Followed later with Aces of the Deep and most of the others.

Mine was Silent Service II on the Amiga when I was about 8. I bought the game on holiday in Scotland and spent the rest of the trip reading the game manual so I'd be ready when we got home :)

Aces of the Deep. Still my favourite. You can't beat that immersion level.

I can't remember the first subsim I played, but the first that hooked me was Aces of the Deep on floppies. I can see the Command Aces of the Deep CD from where I am sitting now! SH3 has the same effect. I'm hoping for that feeling with SH4.

Sub Battle Similator was my first subsim and is still one of the best in terms of gameplay. Graphics are crude and sound effects non-existent but the gameplay was great. we developed a manual firing solution for it and played that sim more than any other. Joe S

Red Storm Rising

Aces of the Deep for me too. Many fond memories of that sim. I still have the map of the Atlantic that was included with it on the wall of my computer room. :)

Silent Service on C64. When was that? 1984-5? I'm losing my memory in old age.

Yep, that's when I broke my sub cherry.:rock:

Steeltrap 03-17-07 04:53 PM

I remember Silent Service, 688i and Red Storm Rising, but I can't remember the chronology. RSR I played on an Amiga 2000. 688i was floppies on a PC.

Also played AOD, SHI-III, Harpoon....most of them I guess!

Silent Service, Atari, 1987.
