Man, I am addicted to playing Subsims since almost 30 years now!
If that is not an addiction, tell me what it is  |
Haha. I remember Silent Service when I was a kid. Dad worked for IBM, so we were early IBM PC adopters. Everything was light blue and pink, gotta love those CGA colors. But by the time I picked up Silent Service, was already a 'highly experienced' Skipper.
Because it wasn't my first subsim - that would be GATO.
I was in 3rd grade and the Challenger hadn't blown up yet, so that would be around fall 1985. I still have the 5 1/4" floppy in a box somewhere, probably right next to the original King's Quest.
Badass box art too.
Even as an 8 year old, I don't think I ever had to dive - you could just blow everyone away on the surface. Ah yeah, see-through ships on that lovely pink ocean.
Sank every single 'Maru' there was in the database many times over.
