As the title states, I just got my copy of Silent Hunter Commander's Edition yesterday and I am surprised and impressed with the simulation, being as old as it is. It is immersive and reasonably accurate. I can now see why the franchise is as big as it is. For a DOS based game, it is a bit of a marvel. I remember the DOS era of gaming and seeing what this old sim does with so little makes me shake my head at the failure of succeeding sims to capture the same feel with more resources available. Having the scenario editor and its ease of use is a definite plus.
