But I dont wanna wander too far off topic.
Don't say "big dissapointment" or Sid may never release another RR Tycoon version.

"Up Periscope" 1986 was another good early subsim.

"Up Periscope also included a 120 page booklet title "Submarine Action in the South Pacific". Filled with facts, illustrations, and historical data, this booklet doubled the value of the sim."

I still have this booklet and it is really informative. It is currently at my home in the high country. When I get back there, I'll retrieve it and perhaps I'll be able to scan it for the archives.
