My first subsim was Silent Service on Commodore 64, really was too young to understand it. Tho, I did sink quite a few ships IIRC. :hmm:
My first "serious" subsim was indeed the Wolfpack. Got it at the same time with my first 2 flightsims, Secrets weapons of the Luftwaffe & B17. Great game it was. Tho, I never had sound card on the old PC, so never knew what it sounded like. |

I still fire it up occasionally, quite ahead of its time in many ways. I like the fact that they had different commander AIs etc and of course having controllable surface vessels and a full scenario editor in the same package was awesome.
Novalogic were working on a sequel in 1999/2000 but sadly it got canned, it would have been interesting to see what they could do with today's technology.

Very cool, Firewall, gold star indeed!
I played Wolfpack a bit a few weeks ago to get some new screenshots for the Mystery Subsim Challenge, neat game.
