I am somewhat surprised they didn't include Lot's wife in the game. This was also used as a reference point by mariners.
It is so easy to remark about what they failed to include. I got a laugh, in a good way, about "all the bubbles being the same size". I am thankful for what all they did include.
Old as I am I recall the pinball games of way back in the latter half of the 20th century. Back then we thought they were state-of-the art, and indeed they were. Many of you remember the "pong" game of the mid 70's. Almost as bad as disco of the same period.
Television was also different. No VCR's, you were at the mercy of what to watch. You yearned for a war movie-at least I did, and if by chance it was a WW2 one that involved submarines you were lucky indeed.
Now here we are playing a game that features such an enviroment and I truly feel lucky to be able to do so.
A computer whiz I am not and it is beyond me how some of you can modify the game, add things and such--in short, make all the bubbles different sizes!
I have SH 3 and 4 and enjoy both and I find a vast amount of helpful information here to allow me to enjoy it in a standard I never would have thought possible.
I too enjoy "smelling the roses" as I conduct a make believe war, of being on the bridge and admiring the gulls and friendly ships in port. Unlike the real heros of this game, the ones who actually fought, we have a camera where we can follow our torpedo tracks as they head towards their targets (if we chose to).
Of all the PC type games, the subsims are the ones I enjoy the best. No run shoot run shoot type, but a laid back approach with the moment of attack and evasion.
