ERT is what got me into sub sims! The alternate history was awesome and I had a blast in that game. It came out at a perfect time for me. As I mentioned on the SubSim Almanac thread, I enjoyed reading East's story and what he went through just to get ERT made. I guess enjoyed is the wrong word though, more like shocked! It's just not right at all.
I would have absolutely loved multiplayer but unfortunately it never came to be.
Anyway, some of the people in this thread should be slapped. No class at all.
