Which game to buy?

I can get SH2/SH3 combo box for about 8 bucks, so I'll try SH3 first. I'll have to read up on how to do the mods and go from there.

THey had SH5 for .99 the other day (download) and I missed it.

Edit: Will this work on Windows 7?

Indeed it will, there are a couple of things you need to do but they're stickied in the SH3 forum (or the SH3 Mods forum?).

Best to read before you install for the first time, many don't and wish they did.

Download GWX 3 Gold. Read the manual, at least on installation.

Install SH3.

Install GWX.

Play and see if it works and whether what you see is to your liking.

If so, make yourself familiar with the sim.

Not before you have done that you should start investiong further time in checkling other additonal mods - and not all of them are meant to be run simultaneously even if they all are comptabile with GWX. So before you invest time in examining that, really spend some time and familiarize yourself with the sim+GWX, to see if it is worth it for you.

P.S. I had run it under W7x64.

Awesome, thanks guys.

Is there a decent modern sim too, where you can run nuke boats?

You want Dangerous Waters:

All the info is there. Dated graphics, but it is a simulation in the truest sense of the word.

I already ordered SH2/3 combo for $7 shipped from J&G. Can't beat that with a bat. I'll order the other game next. I was watching YouTube videos of some dude playing SH3 and the graphics really aren't bad. Sure, they're nto as good as 5, but that's ok. I used to play something on my IBM PCjr that was monochrome. Purplish and white, period. Ships were an outline. Had a blast, but of course I was 10 years old.
