Any1 remember the game "688 Attack Sub" for Sega?
 

This was the first sub simulator (simulator period) I ever played. About 7 years ago I bought an old Sega system just to play that one game. Great memories. :()1:


PS - Anyone know where I can fimd an emulator for it?

I'm not positive, but wasn't that just a port of the PC version?

Looks like it is!

DW's own roots can be traced back to that very game!

Runs great in dosbox, by the way.

My second subsim, after Silent Service for NES. Goulash RULED! Although I also liked the training mission against the Dallas where there was a Red no-play and you could sink the Dallas, with a corresponding nastygram from up higher.

ahhh 688 yep my first sub sim too my first game on the Sega... still got it, still play it! :up:

I remember it well. It wasn't my first subsim. That honor goes to Command: Aces of the Deep. It was, however, the first nuke subsim I ever played. :cool:

Was'nt that the one where you got a 'sonar' picture of your immediate outside view front and side. If so I remember
great fun lurking, dodging and weaving in sea valleys. Dropping into depressions - doing a heli over seamounts -
A lot of fun - a long time ago !

I did that one. I was always a bigger fan of Red Storm Rising, though. I really liked the manual that came with all of Microprose's sims, actually.

Ah yes. Think you guys are referring to Jane's 688I. Loved that game. But my very first was 'Gato' as in the Gato Class sub. Then I went to I think 'Silent Service.' Then by that time all of the modern ones came out. OK. I am yapping here. Cya.

There was a "3-D" wireframe of the surrounding seafloor. There was a scenario where you had to transit the strait of Gibraltar w/o being counter detected. I used to park my boat about 20 ft off the floor and run it at flank ala "Red Route 1". Great times :rock:

688 Attack Sub was my first sub simulator too. :yep:

I learned a lot (especially beluga whale's sound) :smug: and I had a lot of fun. :rock:

First sub sim for me was Sierra's Fast Attack followed by Janes 688i whith it's sexy spiral bound manual. :D

hehe

My first subsim was Sub Battle Simulator, 16 years ago!!! lol

My first sim was Gato for the Apple IIE and my first IBM game was 688. :rock:

Ah good times. :cool:

Silent Service, roughly 17 years ago for the Commodore C64 along with Gunship (for the C64 too). Dang, long time ...
