Mystery Subsim #39

[Onkel Neal]

Here is the initial shot of Mystery Subsim #39

Something tells me it won't take long....

Be the first to guess correctly the name of this subsim or naval game and have your name added to the prize pool.

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!

I know this I know this I know this--

NOOOOO!!!

It's definitely RSR. Can't tell for sure but looks like a Permit (?) just took a rather nasty hit.

Red storm rising

Silent hunter 6? :p

[Kpt. Lehmann]

I dunno.

I'm gonna guess "The Hunt for the Red October" on the original Nintendo.

20 years later, RSR still lives: it has been viewed in modern laptops, ambushed in the deep!

Definatley RSR

Sad thing is, I can remember when graphics like those were cutting-edge.

You youngsters dont know you're born - 128 bit graphics, Four! Four bits I say, 16 colours, that was the limit of my rainbow when I was a cabin boy.

Helmsman, set a course for memory lane - best speed ...

About the game:

While this simulator has several single mission selections, the main challenge is the entire WWIII campaign. There were several skill levels and several levels of technology (determined by year of conflict: 1984, 1988, 1992, 1996). Several classes of subs were available, including Permit, Sturgeon, 688, improved 688, and Seawolf (for 1996 only). There were a vast number of campaign missions and, if repeated, they were always random in location as well as types of ships involved, a truly dynamic campaign. Subsim skippers are never satisfied with "canned' missions and this contributed to the success RSR enjoyed. Some missions include only submarines, others include only a surface convoy, others include a surface task force (with carriers), and others with both ships and subs. Helicopters with sonar dipping equipment and sonar buoys add much to the turmoil. With the most challenging settings, events get so complex, and events occur so quickly, that having two people at the keyboard is a great help, and for beginners, almost a necessity (plus it is more fun). Trying to identify ships with signature analysis, running from incoming torpedoes, launching noise makers and decoys, dealing with several of your own wire-guided fish, and launching Harpoon and Tomahawk missiles makes for a very busy captain.

Man, it's nice to see so many guys who know their subsim history!

Ok, Mystery Subsim #vierzig is set to appear without notice, at any second, like your mother-in-law on Super Bowl Sunday. Deal with it!
