My 688 was also the DOS version. I had fun with it until I realized how little replayability those canned missions were - the same missions, over and over. The only Alfa mission I really enjoyed was the convoy - getting the destroyers to shoot their own merchantmen when my Alfa was running was running low on torps, then discovering that lone 688 at the mission's end. (Uncovering that British SSN near the North Cape was also kind of cool - except that it always started and ended the same way, so you always knew where it would appear and which way it would go.) Still, 688 was initially challenging - after coming from Red Storm Rising, 688 was a rude shock - you couldn't locate torpedoes as easily nor evade them, and punching off noisemakers was a more labor intensive operation.
