I must of been about 7yrs old and was watching Television with my father, we were watching a black n white documentary called World at War and the episode was on the Atlantic. There for the first time i saw a Uboat and asked my father if he liked them he replied that he prefered battleships compared to submarines. But i fell in love with the submarine that day. It was hard back then in finding books on uboats, but over the years i now have a good collection of submarine novels
In the early 90's I saw a game in the computer shop called Aces of the Deep the cover of the big over size cd box was very tempting that i brought it on the spot. At the time i had a Pentium100, with 8mb of ram 2gb HD cdrom and sound blaster card, and a 1mb graphics Trident card, running the new windows95 the computer cost me nearly 4grand! I loved that game. Then moved onto faster sims, and tried Fast Attack, a nuclear sub game, then SH1 and 2, Sub command and now SH3 and Dangerous waters.
