With SH4 coming, what was the first subsim you played?

My first sub sim, if you want to call it that was Avalon Hills Submarine! c.1979 or 1980. But that was for the table top. My father purchased an Atari in 1982 at the local Sears, and I seem to recall something called Submarine Commander (but can't be sure now if that was the exact title). It was similar to the periscope game at the local arcade.

After that, just about ever sub game I could get my hands on. Lost of Silent Service, Red Storm Rising, and I do remember the original Harpoon game. I picked up the original pen & paper rules after reading that all of the naval battles in Clancey's Red Storm Rising had been played out using those rules, and when the PC game came out while I was in the Army, I snatched that up too. Never tried Aces of the Deep though.
