I used to like playing a submarine game I found in the arcade at 10p a go whereby you looked through a periscope and sank the ships, this was many years ago somewhere around 1985.

Around 1992 I played Silent Service on a sytem called a Philips CDROM and I thought the graphics were brilliant! It had lighted ships and everything!!

Then I played it on an IBM PC and wasnt as good wahen it came to graphics but the gameplay was good for its day.

I also found a game like Gato but on the Sinclair spectrum!! My goodness that hard to play!

I got Silent Hunter in 1997 and it was just brilliant... Me and a friend stayed up hours plaing that till five in morning, work the next day was a pain!

Didnt get much into Silent Hunter 2 due to life commitments however when Silent Hunter 3 came along I was disapointed cos it wouldnt play on my laptop even with a radeon card in it! So a while later I built a computer from the ground up to play it... and I thought it great but unfinished...

Now with SH Commander and GWX its the best ever !!

I have just brought a copy of Aces of the deep and I think I will get out my old Dos PC and give it a go. Cant think why ive never played it before?
