I have that game in a zip file.
It plays within Windows XP without any problems.

I played it on an Atari 520ST.

What I remember:
You could play as a Gato class sub, or as a Type VII u-boat. That was it.
There was a 'drop of the agent' mission.
The graphics seemed to be mostly black and blue.
There was a wierd side-scrolling picture that showed your depth relative to the surface and the bottom.

I liked it for the German side, but I mostly stuck with Silent Service.

I think you could lay mines in this game. The few times I played it, i loved to race infront of the convoy and lay a minefield.

wow, that sounds like a fun game.:hmm: I'll bump this thread every so often, then we'll see how many times you re-post the same thing.

That's okay, I did that in another thread, and my second post was almost verbatim .
