The World War II era submarine simulation games U-boat and Drumbeat are two very well done games by Mac sim developer Deadly Games. They both are historically accurate. U-boat takes place in the North Atlantic during the very early stages of the war, when Germany is building its empire. Drumbeat is based on the period when America has just entered the war and U-boats are patrolling just off the U.S. Coast. The set up for these games has a picture of the interior of a U-boat bridge, and you can virtually tour the rest of the sub. At all times, there is a small screen accessing the controls to the ship. These controls include the commands for dive, surface, radio (sends in your coordinates), periscope, attack computer (has settings for launching torpedoes), guns, map, and turn controls. Don't worry about a ship catching you off guard, a lookout will keep you informed. More detailed information on the game is included in the very comprehensive manual.
