I'd just become a teenager in '97, and just reached High School. Games wise it was all the good stuff, Sonic, Mario, Transport Tycoon, I was mainly on consoles at that point. I was definitely interested in submarines at this point, I'd watched HFRO and saw Hostile Waters when it came out on BBC, it may be around this point that I first saw Das Boot as well, BBC2 had a habit of showing the subtitled TV mini-series version around December.
It was either this year or the next that I also picked up Fast Attack, which started my long held love for the Los Angeles class.
