My first subsim was Silent Service on Commodore 64, really was too young to understand it. Tho, I did sink quite a few ships IIRC. :hmm:

My first "serious" subsim was indeed the Wolfpack. Got it at the same time with my first 2 flightsims, Secrets weapons of the Luftwaffe & B17.

Great game it was.

Tho, I never had sound card on the old PC, so never knew what it sounded like.

OLD !!! My first computer used a wood fire for a power supply. And the game was chizeled on stone. :p Anyone got an older rig than that ?
Sure. My first computer was powered by the big-bang and the HDD was made of condensed hydrogen, because matter didn't even exist back then

I still fire it up occasionally, quite ahead of its time in many ways. I like the fact that they had different commander AIs etc and of course having controllable surface vessels and a full scenario editor in the same package was awesome.

Novalogic were working on a sequel in 1999/2000 but sadly it got canned, it would have been interesting to see what they could do with today's technology.

Very cool, Firewall, gold star indeed!

I played Wolfpack a bit a few weeks ago to get some new screenshots for the Mystery Subsim Challenge, neat game.

You didn't go to the subsim shindig did you (I might be confusing you with stddev)?
