FIX MY 688(I) CAMPAIGN
PETITION COMMENTS

Jane's - Sonalysts - EA:
Listen to this!

I love the game, but it would be more better if updated. -- Kalle Käyhkö

It's great! I hope that Janes will work this project! -- Rodrigo de Almeida Leite Barbosa
Belo Horizonte - Brazil

Damn right man! Stop the Janes half assed medium core sim opression! ( fleet command prime example ) you have my support. -- Jonathan T. LeBlanc

Please add me to the list. I just got the Sim and love it, but we do need a few things fixed. Please don't be like some of the others and drop the ball on this great Sim. It's worth getting it right. -- Mark Jaure

A Great sim and I say so as an ex sub sailor. Now you can make it even better. Thanks! -- Jack Raty MM 1(SS) USS TREPANG SSN 674

To Whom it may concern: It's crazy not to continue to develope and improve this game. I fly I Magic's Warbirds and Dawn of Aces online and they are ALWAYS updating these sims and the result is, where there is a computer on this planet there is a Warbirds player. I beleive that 688(I) could be the Warbirds of subsims. -- Mike Upton

Include my name in your petition. Thank you. Appreciate you going to the trouble to get it corrected. -- Dan Marshall

Man, no doubt. When I 1st got 688i I was very excited. Now.... it collects dust on my shelf. Its only a year old!! C'mon Jane's you have made some great patches for you Long Bow series and for F15, don't leave out 688i. Some of us Silent Srvice operators need a release, and 688i is the only one for modern sub surface combat. -- Brendan McDade

Feel free to include my name in the "Fix My 688" campaign. (Anything to give the guys more work... :) -- Scott Martin; Former Sonalysts programmer, 688(I) Hunter/Killer and Fleet Command.

This is Eric from France, please had me to your list and congratulations for your page. Tous ensembles nous gagnerons. -- Eric DeMontcel

Dear Neal, please add me to your 688(i) Petition List. Hope this petition will finally wake up the guys at EA and Sonalysts. Best regards, -- Hanno Hebberling

Add me to the list. I particularly want to not have to change my graphics accel options, since some games like Railroad tycoon 2 only run for me with full accel, whereas 688i only runs for me with none.. arghh! Hate to reboot all the time...thanx -- Jim McHale

Neal, I'm in!!! Tell them to fix it and put my name in the Hat. -- Jim Atkins

688 is a great game but it is time for new missions new subs a new campaign (Nuclear campaign) more ship upgrades. Fix my 688!! -- Greg Fournier

I agree to the FIX 688(I). Put me on the list -- Capt Freguz

I am an avid 688i player and think it would be in EA's/Janes' best interest to produce a follow-on game--please add my name to the list -- J.D.Latorre

I applaud your efforts. Please sign my name to the petition. I believe that 688i is a great game which still has room for more greatness. Something has happened at Jane's which disturbs me. If my memory serves me correct, this would be the first Jane's title which they abandoned and did not continue to support. I hope this is not an omen of times ahead. Thanks and good luck. -- Steve Woodward

I think 688i HUNTER/KILLER is the best SUB SIM around and I know it can be better. With all the talent at JANES and SONALYSTS I think they can greatly improve on 688i. -- Rick Chihocki

I would like to be added to your petition. I too think that this sim is incredible but it needs some fixs to it. I don't know about the 3D option mainly because as a newbie it helped me incredibly, but now I enjoy the actual feel as to what it must be like in nuclear submarine. Thanks -- Alan (Nerdslayer) Hall

Please add me to the "Improve 688i" petition. This is a great game and improvements to the campaign editor and new sub and ship additions can make it greater. -- Darren Dixon.

Hi Neal, I would be grateful if you would add me to the petition. Thanks. -- Ross

Please add my name to your petition - I´d love to see an upgrade like you describe. (And if they could add 3Dfx support, I´d be in heaven:-)). Best regards --Michael "Porta" Nielsen

I was interested in the possibility of new subs in 688(I) Gold. I would like to see the following classes of submarine added to the game: 637, Seawolf, Alfa, & Typhoon. How about a total sub sim based on 688(I)? Use 688(I) as the base, but add the ability to command a 637 or Seawolf class boat. As far as I can tell, this would only require additional files for ship-specific graphics and characteristics. They could call it "Jane's Hunter/Killer Command", or something of that nature. -- Carlton Dingler

Add me to the list Neal. I agree with everything you said. -- Jim Sellers

Add my name to your list, Lets hope Janes listens! --Charles Ankenbauer

Please add my name to the petition. -- Scott Zabolotzky

Sign me up! -- Trevor Seward

We need all these things and more! 688(i) is the only game I have on my machine and I'm very active in the virtual fleets online for multiplayer play. But, there are some improprieties in the virtual fleets due to security holes in the software. I'll buy the patch! Lets make the best sim even better! Regards -- John "Spook" Johnson

Hi, I'm Eros Vigano' from Milan, Italy. First of all, compliments for your cool page! Please sign me in your (our) list. -- Eros Vigano'

Yeah we need more 688 material. please add me to your FIX MY 688(i) CAMPAIGN! -- Snake Man, PMC.

Please enter me on the petition! Regards. -- Don Stewart

Your efforts to improve this great game are outstanding and I would be proud to join forces with you. Please add my name to the petition you have started as I spread the word. Thanks for doing this, someone has to and you're the one who stepped up to the plate, my cover is off to you Sir. -- LCDR Steve Sanders

Add me to your list..I love 688i and would hate to see it die! Cheers! -- Andrew Dawes

Please count me in. -- Mike Rothenberg

Yes I agree with your petition 100%   Put my name on the list. --   Mike Broam

Don't let 688I fall into "classic" obscurity! -- Daryl Carpenter

This is the best sub simulation out on the market but it need major fixes to make the game play more realistic with some better campaigns. I have one question though; who was the one that came up with the outside view for a sub simulation? Maybe it should only be available when surfaced. That's the only time you can go outside and view the world around you. -- Todd Phillips

I am a LCDR in the VNC now. Please include my name for the petition.-- Paul Lee Ka Kei from Hong Kong

Yes, add my name to the list. I'll buy an upgrade disk. Fix My 688! -- Stuart Bloom

Great! Good luck and thanks for your advocacy! -- Brian

In general, I support your petition. Please add me to your list. -- Mick Stevens.

FIX MY 688(I)! FIX MY 688(I)! FIX MY 688(I)! -- Yoram Avidan

688i is already great. Jane's has a responsibility to bring it even farther. When a child is good at doing something, you don't just say "well, he's good. Why should I bother to help him and support him?". From good you can go to great. From great you can go to greatest. From there, go to historical !!! People of Jane's, you know what you have to do. -- Michel Villemaire.

I fully agree ! Quality is what we pay for! -- Y. Dierick

I'am looking forward to new missions etc. put me on the list! Greetx -- Gerard van der Ree

Fix my Sub! I support your campaign. -- Isaac Hughes

Hey Neal, add my name to that list. 688i should be fixed. -- Bruce Loatman

Please add my name to the 688i petition. -- John Dilks

I find your petition very great ! I will do as much as publicity for it !   -- Yannick Fournier

Add me to the list! I will DEFINITELY buy an upgrade disk. If Jane's/Sonalysts/EA are unwilling to do one, at least sell the code and rights to another company willing to take on the original concept; i.e., another complete sim dealing with our surface foes! That could be followed by another sim covering the subs of the rest of the world, ( or the Seawolf ). Once you get the platforms involved working smoothly, THEN you put it all together with a C3 system. Don't try to build it from the top down! Work from the bottom up! An appropriate place to start for a sub sim, don't you think? -- Paul Richardson

Damned right !!!!!!! -- Tom Myny

Sottoscrivo la Vostra petizione. -- Claudio de Micheli (from ITALY)

Hello... I am interested in a fixed 688(i) as well. So please include me in the list. -- Bjoern Labitzke

Gents, We need this upgrade! Send your troops to sign the petition please. Let me know what kind of response you get. We need this! -- KG Jones aka RADL Huks CincLant, SeaWolves! "Detect, Attack, Destroy!"

Add my name for sure. -- Andrew Ross

I agree that it's about time that an upgrade be released....WE NEED MORE MISSIONS. -- Len Krajewski

Yes, add my name. I am pleased to see you take the lead and try and do something about this problem. If I can help let me know. -- Ken Bernitt

As a member of SeaWolves, I heartily approve of the fixes requested for 688i. There must be a way to eliminate the cheating that occurs. A great way will be to make 3D an option; or at least some way to publicly notify other members in a multiplayer game. -- Steven J. Weatherwax

I concur entirely, the Game needs to be fixed for a least good Public Relations. -- William Moyer

Neal, Thanks so much for your efforts and I am very happy to see that I am not alone in the desire for the GREATEST SUBSIM out there to reach even higher pinnacles! I am an ex-submariner of the US Navy and have played many subsims.... When Janes came out...I felt a rush of exhilaration as I drove my sub against the first opponent. After many months of gameplay, I have seen the need for these and many more improvements which ABSOLUTELY need to be made.... I find it hard from a business point of view that the authors of 688(i) are letting this piece of work slip away into the archives of its predecessors when it clearly can be improved upon, added to, and sustained for many YEARS to come! I personally would buy the version out, or a revision to this product which would address this and many others. There is significant revenue here. Please put my name on your list and I will assist with you or Janes/Sonalyst in whatever way I can. -- Jimmy Harlin, CDR TAZ, XO 1st Fleet, Seawolves.

Count me in .... however, I am a little puzzled as I read your recent 'Subsim Update' and it suggests there will be add-on shortly, it has just been delayed (according to Paul Grace). There is no doubt, it would be a tragic shame not to develop 688i further, as it is without doubt the best commercial submarine sim on the market to date. I for one would be at the front of the queue to buy any expansion. -- John Sadler

Hi Glacier, This is RDML Leerch here wanting to put my name on list to fix 688(i). Glad to see someone stepping up to the big dogs and lettin them know how we feel about game. I feel we have too many cheats out there and they need to find away to fix them. So I would be happy to have my name put on the list. -- Art Lopez
