LOL. SH1 was my first military sim, in many ways (I had Jane's ATF Gold, but it was in English and I didn't understand English at the time). It was back in China, when I was something like 7 years old, playing SH1 on something like a 486. i still remember the good old times when I turned realism down to 0%, sailed into Tokyo Bay and deck gunned every ship in the harbour, or all those times sneaking into those Japanese Empire harbours (with realism on high), torpedoing the escorts and gunning whatever left, then submerging, losing contact, and have the ships instantly reappear. Or those times when my ship was destroyed by Japanese destroyers. Or the ring of 12 DCs from those darned little patrol boats that got me every time (forgot what they were called, D-class or F-class or something, but they were small, maneauverable, difficult to hit and armed with twice as many DC rails as larger DDs. anyone remember what they were?). Or those death scenes where my submarine got crushed.

And yes, I miss the 2D controls and interface. Although the graphics in SH4 are far better.

In fact, I practically grew up with SH1. It was the game that introduced me to submarines and naval warfare in general.

Finally, a big thanks to the good people at Strategic Simulations Inc who made SH1. What happened to SSI anyway?
