Hi All!

I just registered with the forum. I am an old timer, 69 years young today.
Although I have played subsims since I got my first computer back in the 1980s, I haven't played to much recently. My first was on my Atari--anyone remember them? Probably not many. It was pretty good for its time, I can't remember the name. My favorite was Aces of the Deep which I played back in the 90s. I bought Shells of Fury a few years ago and began playing again. I am a student of history and the novelty of a WWI subsinm fascinates me. I just bought Silent Hunter III on Steam and am looking forward to wasting many hours of my retirement.

yardmaster!

HEY I still play Aces of the Deep! But my first subsim was in 70's longhaul truckstop arcades!

No need for TDC's after this 'finishing' school!

Welcome to Subsim John / Yardmaster.

Great Introduction as well.

You're in good company here being a student of history and Navy warfare. I have seen some of the systems you mentioned and a friend has the old arcade game " Sea Wolf " that Aktung posted the link to and picture of. Arcade and computer games have really come a long way since then.

Happy belated birthday as well.

I hope you enjoyed your day

Enjoy your time here and again, welcome aboard.
