| My second subsim, after Silent Service for NES. Goulash RULED! Although I also liked the training mission against the Dallas where there was a Red no-play and you could sink the Dallas, with a corresponding nastygram from up higher. |

I remember it well. It wasn't my first subsim. That honor goes to Command: Aces of the Deep. It was, however, the first nuke subsim I ever played.  |

Was'nt that the one where you got a 'sonar' picture of your immediate outside view front and side. If so I remember
great fun lurking, dodging and weaving in sea valleys. Dropping into depressions - doing a heli over seamounts -
A lot of fun - a long time ago ! |

I did that one. I was always a bigger fan of Red Storm Rising, though. I really liked the manual that came with all of Microprose's sims, actually. |

| Ah yes. Think you guys are referring to Jane's 688I. Loved that game. But my very first was 'Gato' as in the Gato Class sub. Then I went to I think 'Silent Service.' Then by that time all of the modern ones came out. OK. I am yapping here. Cya. |

There was a "3-D" wireframe of the surrounding seafloor. There was a scenario where you had to transit the strait of Gibraltar w/o being counter detected. I used to park my boat about 20 ft off the floor and run it at flank ala "Red Route 1". Great times  |

688 Attack Sub was my first sub simulator too. 
I learned a lot (especially beluga whale's sound)  and I had a lot of fun. |
