They also did Grand Prix, Grand Prix 2 and Grand Prix 3 which were fantastic (I Know they weren't subsims but still a great show of what Microprose were brilliant at. Simulation)

I loved the old Microprose games. I managed to save them almost all the ones I purchased and I still play them from time to time on my Amiga emulator.
There is something to be said for great gameplay. They graphics are rather basic by todays standards, but you really got hooked on the playability. I with they made game like that still. It is all eye candy now |

INTRO(BTW, that's the last type II in the world behind him, the Vesikko  )-In the 80s the more mature players started to want a more realistic war simulations. -Their Knight on a white horse was the legendary game developer, Microprose, that was founded by Sid Meier and Bill Stealey in 1982. -Microprose became known from it's realistic simulations like the Submarine simulator Silent Service. Silent Service -The most famous wargame from Microprose is definetly Silent Service. -Silent Service wasnt that stunning graphic-wise, but it got the player hooked for it's tactical gameplay. -In Silent Service, the player was in control of an US submarine in the Pacific during the WWII and was tasked to sink Japanese ships. -The player could plan his attacks from the beginning to the end. -Especially, the sounds dragged the player to the world of underwater warfare. F-19 Stealth Fighter -In 1987, Microprose released one of the best combat flight simulators of the 80s. -In Stealth Fighter, the player flew a fictive US stealth plane completing various missions during cold war in Europe and in the Middle east. -F-19 became the new standard for it's realism and it's advanced AI. Cant be arsed to translate the AR part.
