I still remember that, at that time, it was extremely difficult to get original copies of software here in Italy, so I had to revert to a pirated one (I'm talking about 27 years ago...). But then I actually got a paper manual too, a hardcopy translated into italian which completely omitted manual TDC firing, so I scratched my head for years to figure out how to use it (I was about 10 years old at that time...now I'm almost 40 ).

But then, since the very first time I got my hands on Silent Hunter 3, I played it at 100% realism. Now I'm approaching Silent Hunter 4.

Anyway, hi to everyone!

Because of that game I became a big fan of Sid Meier. For a long time I bought everything that had his name on it.
