Meanwhile I'm playing SHII.

But I'm edging closer to SHIII - I'm hoping they'll introduce a Starforce-free "gold" edition.

SH1 in dosbox is very slow (maybe not if you have a 3+GhrzCPU), but AOD works perfectly. As for the steps, this is what I have to type in dosbox to get AOD running.

mount d d:\aod\
d:
aod

So basicaly only 3 steps, very easy stuff.

As for SHIII and starforce, there is an easy way to remove it. But I can't talk about it here for fear of getting hit by lighting...
Again, I'm sure you can figure it out :hmm: , PM me if you can't.

The forum rules apply to PM´s as well. First warning for publicly offering help in that regard.

Aces of the Deep was very immersive.
Actually SH III could have beaten that feeling if not for the many glitches in the first versions...

Struck by lightning!!!

Going back to Aces of the Deep???? :rotfl:


That's like saying you're going back to 'Pong'.....Oooooh SOoooo entertaining!!


Actually, I hear they train space monkeys with 'Pong'.

Actually AOD was, and is, a very good sim, but it's the visual and sonic immersion that glues me to SHIII. Call it eye candy if you like, and say it's not worth anything, but when I follow the flottengebleiter out of Wilhelmshaven or enter the Kiel Canal, and see all the traffic coming and going, I'm back in the real navy again, and though it's not the real thing it sometimes sure seems like it.

Man, i played that game and was number 1 in tonnage(after 3 missions)...

When i had my Pentium 200MMX 95, ghees let me think, 1992?

AOD ????

I personaly prefer another simulation of two submarines with a depth charge between them. That one easily beats AOD you sukkas

When will these crazy kids learn that graphics don't make the game
But I must say...Having just finnished a couple of patrols in Aces and now returning to SHIII. SHIII gets my vote for better sim
But not ( just ) because of the graphics!!
