I know this is an old thread but I could help reminessing on Aces of the Deep. What a classic game. I too have kept the original box, manual, and map. I had the command version where you could use voice activated commands. However I don't think it worked right. I tried loaded in up on my XP a couple of years ago box but it threw an error when I tried to put out to sea.
Dynamix the developer made some great games (Red Baron, Aces over Eupore & Pacific). I loved reading their manuals they gave a good history lesson concerning the war and the various sub commanders and their carreers. AOD even included interviews with the real U-boat aces such as Otto Krestchmer and couple of others whom I don't remember. It's a shame the games today just don't seem to be created with the same tender luvin care and attention to detail. Slap a coat of nifty pixels and shove it out door seems to be today's standard for game developement.
