Since a week or so, I'm playing the game again.
Still love it.

Despite those issues, Epyx Sub Battle Simulator is always on my short list of programs that are good examples of "Less is more". You don't always have to have the latest and greatest in computers or graphics to pull off a really good game. When my C-64 ruled my desktop (before my 8088, CGA days), I was playing either Silent Service or Eypx Sub Battle Simulator.

I had that for my old Commadore 64 ! It wasn't my favorite game though. That distinction goes "The Adventure Construction Set". Even today, there's nothing as cool as that game was.
