23 years ago, just seems like yesterday! I thought I'd dig out my original copies of Silent Service (C64) and Silent Service II (Amiga) from my loft. Both are still in good condition considering their age. I haven't got the computers to run them now, but WinUae does a good job of emulating the Amiga on a PC and I have a good C64 emulator. Fired up SSII with WinUae and did the training and Sink the Yamato missions and the memories came flooding back.
