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.

OLD !!! My first computer used a wood fire for a power supply. And the game was chizeled on stone. :p Anyone got an older rig than that ?

Sure. My first computer was powered by the big-bang and the HDD was made of condensed hydrogen, because matter didn't even exist back then

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.

This is better than PMing

FIREWALL · 01-11-09, 01:40 AM

Ain't that the truth. We can even go OT if we want to.

Who's here to complain. :p :rotfl:

nikimcbee · 01-11-09, 01:44 AM

You didn't go to the subsim shindig did you (I might be confusing you with stddev)?

FIREWALL · 01-11-09, 03:09 AM

It doesn't matter. At the last minute R\L kept me home. Hardly anybody's here so we get to run things. :p :rotfl:
