Hi All
Just arrived on your your fine forum and I must say, what a busy place you have here!

.

I've been a fan of Sub Sims since Subwar 2050 and Silent Service 2 on my beloved Amigas, which I might add, I still play!

Discovered the Silent Hunter Series when I got my first PC at around 2000 and instantly got right into it. Now hitting the usual starforce problems with installing SH2,3 and 4 on my modern Win 7 PC, but I will get there in the end............um I hope

The other gaming genre I really like are space sims like the Elite series, which I guess are a bit like sub sims in that, your still in a craft in a hostile environment. Something about that appeals to me. Been playing a bit of Oolite and Pioneer too

Mmmm, I wonder if the Pioneer devs might add underwater environments to the planet models?

Anyways to finish this first post, I just thought I would add that it's great to see such an active community here. Games like sub sims would have died out years ago if not for communities like yours. Big PC gaming devs are just so focused these days on the mainstream, when they dont realise there is much more fun to be had "under" the mainstream

Hello to you all!
