With SH4 coming, what was the first subsim you played? - Page 2

ReallyDedPoet · 03-17-07, 04:58 PM

Fast Attack

Kapitan_Phillips · 03-17-07, 05:26 PM

Silent Hunter 2. That theme tune is still cool.

Arrowhead2k1 · 03-17-07, 05:26 PM

This one.

I got Silent Service II back around 1991 or so.

Schultzy · 03-17-07, 05:33 PM

Silent service II here also. Never looked back.

rodan54 · 03-17-07, 05:37 PM

My first subsim was none other than Silent Hunter I.

CCIP · 03-17-07, 05:43 PM

Well, depends on the definition of what constitutes really playing a subsim!

Me and my dad played Silent Service II on the Atari all the time, back when I was 12.

On the other hand... I was 12, didn't really know English - and my dad wasn't a sub expert by any means :p

But I have such fond memories of it that two years ago, in the pre-release hype of SHIII (just like we have for SHIV here now

), those memories flooded back and made me run out and get SHIII. In the years between I became a real flight sim fanatic, and yearned for a historical game with a good career mode. So, good memories + good campaign = CCIP goes to sea on a U-boat. Have been a subsim diehard ever since

Yep, that's when I broke my sub cherry.

It was 1988. I read it on the original box right now

Silent Service II was my first but I absolutely fell in love with Aces of the Deep. I thought it was a great game and was curious if SH3 could live up to it. Happily, it did.

But I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for Silent Service II....

DaMaGe007 · 03-17-07, 06:26 PM

I remeber palying sh1 on the c64, and wolfpack was a favorite too, cant remember which computer it was on tho.

Antrodemus · 03-17-07, 06:37 PM

Silent Service I on the 'tari.

Was it the 800XL or the 520ST?!? hmm... damn you memory, damn you.

jmr · 03-17-07, 06:53 PM

Gato by Spectrum Holobyte. I'll never forget that purple water on a CGA monitor.

Captain_Jack · 03-17-07, 07:17 PM

I still have all of mine. The first one was Silent Service II in 1991.

Here they are from left to right...along with my "Chief of the Boat"...

Shaffer4 · 03-17-07, 07:32 PM

Wolfpack was my first.

GSpector · 03-17-07, 08:13 PM

Wow, I feel so old

. My 1st Sub Sim was Gato.

I can't say I was impressed with it back them, I was still trying to figure out what type of Sim I really liked. I preferred Combat Flight Sims for a long while.

By 1st favorite Sub Sim would have to be Silent Service.

And before anyone suggest I try any of the many listed above, I have and enjoyed all mentioned except Fast Attack, never heard of it.
