I remember playing that for hours when I was little. I guess that was my first subsim, although I didn't become obsessed with the genre until I got Sub Command back in 2002.

I just turned 46 a month ago.

I've been playing subsims since I was... 45.

Never did much gaming of any kind when I was a teenager, unless you count playing Trivial Pursuit with my dad. And watching Jeopardy to see who could yell out the correct answer first. And the occasional game of checkers. (Chinese checkers if we were feeling adventurous.)

Of course we didn't have personal computers back then, and I doubt I would have been into combat sims of any kind even if they were available.

But I was so much older then. I'm younger than that now.

Frau, you and my dad might have gone to high school together.....

I'm 19.

been playing Subsims since I was....6.

and actually I moved on to other games from there, but I've always moved back to subsims.

I'm the only one in my town that owns all 5 Silent Hunters.

55 here with way too much time on my hand.

My first subsim was actually the board game "submarine" by avalon hill which I played in the late 70s/early 80s. My first computer subsim was Jane's 688i HK around 1999. The only subsim I still play is DW, although I have not tried the latest LWAMI mod yet.
