For an absolutely beautiful subsim ubisoft.. But the REAL thanks go to the modders who got down amongst the nuts,bolts,and grease to really make this sim what it is.. Again THANK YOU!!

I remember we tried that with the devs. They weren't having any of it. "We ARE Ubi," they said. "Without Ubi there would be no devs" they said. I hear a faint echo of that now, growing in volume as their numbers grow.

This is not a chicken or the egg riddle. Clearly there must be a game before the modders have anything at all to do. Clearly modders can only do what the design of the game permits them to do.

I admire the modders greatly, but they admire the game and the people who made it. Who am I to argue with superior reasoning?

Forgive me if Im wrong but wasent UBI just the publisher?

Yeap. And a special monument for those trying to play the game after reading the manual... only.

Think you're more likely to end up in an asylum then in a grave in that case.

Technically, no. It was the Ubisoft studio in Romania that developed the game; it wasn't an outside firm that did the game and handed it off to be published.

The very first computer game I bought back in 1990 was Silent Service II. I was just thinking the other day how far subsims have progressed since then.

So, yes, I am very gratefull for the developers and the modders that have kept subsims going and improving over the years.

Seminole · 09-25-08, 08:56 AM

Yes...and look just how far manuals have digressed?...

..over that same time peroid...

One of my early titles was Their Finest Hour....The Battle of Britain by Lucas Arts.

The game though tons and tons of entertainment, is positively stongeage by today's standards.

BUT....that manual....

....I still have it in my reference library as it is a pretty comprehensive resource on the history of the BoB, as well as a detailed gamer's guide to playing the game.

...and come to think of it..I still have those 5 1/2 inch floppies somewhere too...
