Pacific War Sub Game - 3/1/2003 7:22:47 AM

Status: offline 		My first game where I controled a US sub in the Pacific during WWII was the port of Silent Service done for the NES. While a very nice job, and showcasing what the system could do when it came out, the game lacks anything bigger then a DD in it, as well as a lack of options.

I then played Silent Service II -- first for the C64 (ask me sometime about the Battle of Rabul!) and then for several years I played the PC version.

However, that version no longer runs on my system (it IS DOS based, after all) despite efforts on my behalf.

So, I need some advise -- any good Pacific War sub games out there that will run on a modern system?

Where did you get that? IIRC Carl Norman, executive producer (or something) in Ultimation and SSI gave some hints as regards SH3 1,5 years ago, but things went kinda downhill since then, and Norman himself left Ultimation (currently calls himself "unepmloyed game producer").

Carl was a spiritus movens behind many realistic combat sims, and I certainly hope he'll be back with some project one day...

Meanwhile where did you hear about SH3?

Well SH3 sounds like good news to me. SH is still a favourite while I have stopped playing SH2...was not enirely happy with that one.

Status: offline 		I see Silent Hunter at Wal-mart when I scan thier software section. IIRC it is realy expensive, Something like $9.99. If you can't get it at Wal-mart, I think there are a few places on-line. I think there are links on the Pacific Thunder site.

Hope this helps

Oh well. Here's hoping a new sub game comes out.

There is a way to run Silent Hunter under Windows XP. I have tried the method posted at the following URL, and it worked fine for me. It is a bit complicated, but all the steps are thoroughly explained and documented.

Good luck!

Paul
