I pre-ordered my copy from the SubSim store - got it a few days after it was first released.

Huskalar · 09-26-07, 08:29 AM

Bought it in the beginning of 2006.

This is why I like polls beacause they attract so much attention

2-3 years for me, but I never installed it for a year because of the scare stories surrounding Starforce. Took the plunge and installed it just over a year ago and wished I'd done it earlier. Having said that, when I did install it the Grey Wolves mod was available which improved the game instantly without the wait.

Got it as soon as it came out. I play with it for about 2-3 months and I got bored. Left it for quite some time and about 8-12 months later I started playing again. If I had not come accross GW1.1a at the time I would have throw it away. After I tried GW1.1a my life changed

Now I don't even remember what SH3 looks like

I was a Sub Command junkie...then put it away for a few years. Then a couple years ago, decided to re-install it and start getting my subsim fix again. I came here after not having read the boards here in years, where I discovered Dangerous Waters and Silent Hunter III. I read the reviews and naturally had to have both !

I've now been hapily playing them for about two years or so and I'm not showing any signs of stopping.
I have these games set up on the computer in my home music room/amature studio where I do a lot of work with synthisisers, and other instruments, as well as my latest hobby of circuit bending electronic toys, games, and keyboards. I love to run Silent Hunter III or Dangerous Waters (with all the autocrew on) at 1x while I'm working on other things in the room. When I hear my crew call something out, it pulls me right to the "Captain's Chair" to deal with whatever situation is going on.

~6 months.
I got in with 1.4b, played a while then downloaded GWX1.3 played a while then downloaded SH3CMDR and I havent played anything since.
Its the most used program on my computer.

I used to like playing a submarine game I found in the arcade at 10p a go whereby you looked through a periscope and sank the ships, this was many years ago somewhere around 1985.

Around 1992 I played Silent Service on a sytem called a Philips CDROM and I thought the graphics were brilliant! It had lighted ships and everything!!

Then I played it on an IBM PC and wasnt as good wahen it came to graphics but the gameplay was good for its day.

I also found a game like Gato but on the Sinclair spectrum!! My goodness that hard to play!

I got Silent Hunter in 1997 and it was just brilliant... Me and a friend stayed up hours plaing that till five in morning, work the next day was a pain!

Didnt get much into Silent Hunter 2 due to life commitments however when Silent Hunter 3 came along I was disapointed cos it wouldnt play on my laptop even with a radeon card in it! So a while later I built a computer from the ground up to play it... and I thought it great but unfinished...

Now with SH Commander and GWX its the best ever !!

I have just brought a copy of Aces of the deep and I think I will get out my old Dos PC and give it a go. Cant think why ive never played it before?

U49 · 09-26-07, 04:05 PM

In early 2005 I bought a new computer ONLY with the purpose of SH3 in my mind!

And this was the date when I finally switch from Aces of the Deep to Silent Hunter III
