Can to subs in a roundabout way. I was interested in ship wrecks (titanic was the main one, started by watching a night to remember when at sick a home one school day) I read a book about famous shipwrecks which the titanic was one. The next chapter was the Lusitania! The chapter also mentioned the exploties of the U9 sinking 3 cruisers in one afternoon, so I was hooked.

My first subsim was called sub battles, which played on my old Mac plus. Many a long afternoon playing american and german sub commanders sinking entire merchant fleets, (my record was 300,000 tons as a German, 350,000 as American) Finnish off a battleship with my AA guns was par for the course.

The mac got replaced with a newer one, so my next sub game was the forgettable wolfpack where you could be a sub, escort, or merchant(why the hell would you want to be one???)

Next sub game I could play on my computer (at work) was SHII, got SHIII when works computer got upgraded.

Now I moved to a new job, so have to install on a new computer.

I'm getting withdrawal pains....
