Like Sailor Steve I grew up in the 50s-60s and saw all the old Sub Movies and TV shows. When I was about 10-12 my parents took us to Chicago to the Museum of Science and Industry and we toured the U-505. After that I was hooked on Subs and WWI and WWII in general, built all the models from Biplanes to Battleships.

When the computer came along with games like 688 Attack Sub, Silent Service, AOD, Red Baron, Silent Hunter I was there buying and playing. Been at it ever since, about 85% of the almost 200 games I have are WWI or WWII sims.
