"Command Aces of the Deep was the first really good submarine simulation I ever came across. It forced a paradigm shift of my ratings of all previous subsims. CAOD was leagues ahead of the competition at the time of its release, holds its ground years later, and is a shining example of a subsim done right. "

GREY WOLF for $12.99

$9.00


Found nowhere else on the web. A classic with gorgeous interior art. Take on the Royal Navy in the North Atlantic.

 Patrols begin with an animated sequence  of a U-boat leaving the concrete pens. Track and trap fat merchants, but beware! The Brits are looking for you, and they have the help of the Yanks after 1940.

A classic U-boat subsim that is rare and hard to find now. For collectors.

I think the game also gives off a pretty good atmosphere of cold, chilly gloom, which is what I would expect from a sub in the North Atlantic. - Troy Whigham

reat Naval Battles IV Burning Steel expands the scope of SSI’s line of naval simulators "to include World War II naval actions in many of the theaters that saw the shadow of the battle wagon. From the frigid Barents Sea to the balmy Mediterranean, the North Atlantic and the English Channel, the Allies can be pitted against Axis forces in one-day battle scenarios or longer campaigns. The Axis forces include the German, Italian and French navies, while U. S., British, and Soviet ships are available on the Allied side." More than fourteen major engagements are featured, including the Battle of the Denmark Straits, Atlantic Convoy Run, and Bismarck and Prinz Eugen versus the Hood and Prince of Wales of the Royal Navy. In addition, over 100 random scenarios for either surface or carrier actions can now be fought.


WORLD CLASS SIMS
Ready to try your hand at some other sim action? Been waiting for Silent Hunter II so long you've worn out the original. Here are a few non-subsims I have played and can personally endorse as fun and affordable. 
Armored FIST 2
 

Take command of America’s battle tank of the future, the M1A2 Abrams. This modern day monster combines crew survivability with maximum lethality. Blast away at a variety of enemy targets with the M1A2s gyro-stabilized 120 mm main gun. Its thermal imager and laser range-finder give you a one-shot, one-kill advantage that the enemy just can’t match.

Flying Corps Gold

prss0099.jpg (19385 bytes)In some games the flight models and control systems for each plane have been smoothed out to make it easier for the novice to jump straight in. This approach, however, does have a cost, as many of the planes idiosyncrasies and special features are lost. Flying Corps Gold has dual flight models for each plane. The more forgiving model is retained for novices, while realistic options will provide a real challenge for the seasoned flight enthusiast
