What was your first ever sub sim? - Page 4

Steel_Tomb · 07-20-07, 05:51 PM

My first was a demo of SHI. Then got the full version of SHII, then moved onto SHIII and now SHIV. Tried DW but couldn't get the hang of it.

I first played GATO at my dads old computer. And then decided to see if i could find some modern equivalent on the web. I then stumbled across the SH1 demo. And then I bought SH1. Following up was:
Sub Command
SH2
DW
SH3

Silent Hunter on the Commodore 64. Game had really simplistic graphics, but had decent AI and a very good manual.

Officerpuppy · 07-20-07, 10:58 PM

688 attack sub for the Sega Genesis was my first, I would spend hours playing this game whenever I rented it.

Wow im realtivy new.
SHIII Bought it 3 years ago and never looked back!

Gato

On the original ibm pc!! I used to play on level 7. Levels 8,9, you needed to know morse code to know what the mission was! I made timed maps of each mission, so I knew where to intercept the convoys.

Then, Silent Sevice on the pc and my friends c64 (which had better sound).

Red Storm Rising!

My all time favorite is SH1, commanders edition

Silent Service on the Amiga. Love the intro music from the second.

GATO was my first naval simulation.
On an amstrad pc 1512 with CGA color monitor nontheless, if you could call that a color monitor. :p
After that I'm afraid to say that there was the desert, I was much more interested in avalon hill board games than computer games. And so fast forward to 2005 when I bough my second naval computer game Dangerous Waters. After that I waited for SCS naval combat pack so back to Sub Command, Fleet Command and 688i Hunter Killer. After that I bought s second hand 100% perfect SH I edition and that fired again my interest towards WWII naval engagements so I bought also SH 3.
Thats not bad at all for someone who has always considered flight simulations THE GAMES for pc.

I still play Panzer General II

I find that avalon hill turn based games (Squad Leader) are among
the greatest games to transition to digital along
with othello as you dont have to mess with the
pieces anymore.

I had the following games form Avalon Hill : air force, sixth fleet and central america the united states backyard war.
My favorite game was the last one, unfortunately it was never "ported" to the digital realm.

Sub sims I have played:

MPS's Silent Service (Apple ][); with *joystick*

MPS's Red Storm Rising
MPS's Silent Service II
Dynamix's Aces of the Deep
SSI's Silent Hunter
EA's Jane's 688(I)

And of course, Silent Hunter 3.
And I'll play SH4... eventually...
