Mystery Subsim #35

Here is the initial shot of Mystery Subsim #35


If you guess, and you are wrong, then you have used one of your three wrong guesses alloted to each player. Each player gets only three wrong guesses in the whole contest before your participation ends, so guess wisely (if you are really sure). If you don't know, don't waste a guess! You can only guess incorrectly three times in the contest.

You cannot EDIT your post in this contest. An edited or deleted post counts as a guess.

Remember the rules!!

If no one tries to guess this shot, or no one guesses correctly, there will be an expanded shot to follow.

Good hunting!
Neal

One good thing about this contest is I'm finding out about games I never heard of like " Das Boot "

I, on the other hand, had instant recall when I saw the image of playing/seeing the game, but cannot recall the title.

Arrrgh!

He scores again! A lot of people get close but Subnuts hits MOT.

The subsim that changed everything: Silent Hunter III


From the review:

Quote:
I have to confess that after seeing SH3 a year ago at E3, and again during the October 2004 Sub Club meeting, it’s been truly hard to suppress the excitement and anticipation I’ve felt. The specter of SH2 hung over my expectations. With each new SH3 build I was thinking, "Please Lord, don’t let this game let us down". It didn’t. SH3 really impressed me at every phase of its development—it’s been all I could do not to rave. No more. This subsim has everything plus everything else. The final score? What else can you say about a hands-down, across the board superb game? Silent Hunter III is the King of Subsims!
Vlad had deja vu but couldn't conjure up an answer, Firewall finally saw something besides blue squigglies, Mookie bombed out with the edit/delete trick, and Schultzy tossed SH2 into the ring even though it was featured as MS#12...(and Stealth Hunter sneaked one in under the wire!) while Subnuts had time to order pizza and watch half of 60 Minutes. I guess we know who the alpha male is around here.

Hmmm...now, for Mystery Subsim #36, it may not be what you expect. That's why they call 'em Mystery Subsims, don'tcha know.

Side issue: thanks to this competition I now have something to look forward to.
I've been playing SH3 for about two years, still on my first campaign in 1940 and have never seen that equipment before.
