I used to play a lot of Silent Service back in the day (not that that makes me feel old or anything). More recently, my brother had Silent Hunter IV: Wolves of the Pacific; I test-drove it a bit but never got really addicted. Between those two games, I had played other sub-related odds and ends, without ever getting too interested in any one game. Do any other TMPers have a history with submarine simulation games? Ron |

I used to play a lot of Red Storm Rising when in college. I tried others, but just could not get the same feel. |

Sub war 2050 link
more of an underwater fighter game than anything like modern subs but it did have thermal layers and cavitation to worry about. |

Red Storm Rising, Harpoon, and Silent Service 2 (started so many S-Boats on what turned into one-way cruises…) |

Silent Service for NES became one of my most favorite games to play back in the day, so much so that my oldest nephew gave me a copy as a gift one Christmas. I could play for a couple of hours stalking Japanese shipping, dodging destroyers, and generally becoming a terror in the South Pacific! I really had some great times with it. Oh, and the theme music to the game? Unforgettable! |

Silent Hunter III is the last version I have. Haven't played in quite some time, might just have to fire it up tonight! |

Subwar 2050 was fun. The original Silent Hunter was my favorite. I prefer Pacific theater and Gatos to U-boats. I haven't played the very newest SH's though. I guess I should look into SH-3. I also enjoyed the old 688 Attack Sub game from the late 80's, but it was my first. Jane's 688i was wonderful for the waterfall diagram alone, but I got too frustrated that I was apparently the only one on the boat, and had to turn off the towed array deployment motor myself, etc. |

Back in the late 80s I played a lot of Red Storm Rising. A LOT. |
