Good point, Spidair!
"Texting" is not acceptable for direct human-to-human interaction. Aliens? Who knows?
Silent Service was my first on PC - and got me interested in the genre! Spent some time with Apple 2's and text-based RPG's. Looking back, I have no idea how I could've tolerated it! Age: 57. Status: divorced (but I can't blame that on addiction to SH and/or Subsim...) Future plans: medical cadaver, just as long as they don't send my mortal remains to a chiropractic college! |

No military service, thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis close to going into the Navy, but I had a motorcycle accident that put the kibosh to that idea.
OMG I just made swabbie! I've never been so exicted.... Oh wait, yes I have, never mind. Still pretty cool. Only three billion to go before I get to your stage Trucker..... :rotfl:

The BIG 5-0 this year... Feel (mentally) like Peter Pan most the time without the Michael Jackson complex... Been playing computer games since the text only version of StarTrek on a PDP-11 in the mid-70's. Historical sims are my favorites.

I am a 37 yr. old guy who loves SIM/Strategy games. Military warfare and history in any age, but I am really drawn to WWII. I have been a computer gamer for more than 10 years now, and I will to be for as long as possible.
I have been playing the Silent Hunter series ever since launch and really loving it, except Silent Hunter II which really kinda stunk. However, did anybody else get hooked on subsims by playing Silent Service on the NES? Cause that is how it happened for me. A friend of mine gave me that game because he thought it was too slow and boring. Ha ha...what a fool! That game was great! |
