Microprose's "Silent Service"

JScones · 08-21-07, 10:25 PM

I remember Silent Service *very* well, moreso because as a young budding programmer, it was the first commercial product that I bought that "let me" view the source code.

Game wise though, I vividly remember manoeuvring the white pixel to-and-fro across the map screen.

Actually, come to think of it, I *really* enjoyed it, like I did nearly all Microprose titles of the eighties (something about medals and ranks that I really enjoyed). I did hate the "what ship is this" copy protection though...

Hmmm, I might just fire up my C64 emulator and give Silent Service a burl.

Now you see him...

Now you don't...

Woohoo!!
