Okay... As a SH3 noob... I can forgive someone droping back to AOD as it was my *favorite* sub game until now. I was extremely depressed when I upgraded the PC/OS and found I could not get it to work. After many hours of effort, I threw away the game, and moved on to WWII air sims (after many tears lossed).
I still am a very noobish player on SHIII as I have not had the time to play, but AOD *was* the bomb in it's day.
Some day when work stops intruding into my real life, I expect to be a good sub captain..... and I may still re-buy AOD to have something lite to have fun with.

That's the big thing - if getting an old game to work on DOS box takes too many steps then it's just not worth it to me.
Meanwhile I'm playing SHII.
But I'm edging closer to SHIII - I'm hoping they'll introduce a Starforce-free "gold" edition.  |
SH1 in dosbox is very slow (maybe not if you have a 3+GhrzCPU), but AOD works perfectly. As for the steps, this is what I have to type in dosbox to get AOD running.
mount d d:\aod\
d:
aod
So basicaly only 3 steps, very easy stuff.
As for SHIII and starforce, there is an easy way to remove it. But I can't talk about it here for fear of getting hit by lighting... :dead:
Again, I'm sure you can figure it out :hmm: , PM me if you can't.  |

Aces of the Deep was very immersive.
Actually SH III could have beaten that feeling if not for the many glitches in the first versions... |

| Actually AOD was, and is, a very good sim, but it's the visual and sonic immersion that glues me to SHIII. Call it eye candy if you like, and say it's not worth anything, but when I follow the flottengebleiter out of Wilhelmshaven or enter the Kiel Canal, and see all the traffic coming and going, I'm back in the real navy again, and though it's not the real thing it sometimes sure seems like it. |
