And what makes those submarine sims so popular among the mature audience ?
The mixture of strategy and simulation ?
Or did they all just liked 'Das Boot' very much ?

I would gess it's both reasons :hmm:

And ... as you get older you get wiser but your reflex's get slower, Subsims are at just the right pace compared to "Top Gun" type sims! My Son always creams me playing those, but I win hands down with SHIII! Yeh!

Not too long ago, or so it seems:

I walked into The Club Nautique, my favorite haunt in Nha Trang. The aquariums behind the bar been shattered. Bullet holes now decorated the walls. As usual, Pascal sat at the corner of the bar. The barman, waiters and customers were missing.

Pascal did not answer my greeting, got up slowly, poured me half a glass of Johny Walker Black. No ice. "Edith Piaff?" he asked.

I nodded. He placed an LP on the gramophone and we got thoroughly blasted talking about Paris.

That makes me a fossil

I know I'm old because my country's military doesn't take 47 year olds.

Fascinating thread. I have something in common with Hitman, also grew up with classical music. I listen to Schumann, Chopin and opera, believe it or not. I'm now 56 and also enjoy cranking up my Les Paul with a little fuzz and compression for some ZZ Top tunes while I'm recharging the batteries or reloading the tubes...
