One of my favourite games of all time. Great atmosphear throuout the game. The graphics not top but not bad either. And a proper campaign with random encounters, something that NONE of the modern sub sims can master! They claim that one cd is not enough....
Another Sid classic.
A great game that the modern sub sims only beat by having better graphics. An all time classic ST game. Much better than SS2 which is keyboard control only.
Still the only real submarine simulator.
Graphics are very poor even for ST standards, looks like a Speccy.
But worth playing if you like the game idea.
This was my favorite ST game. Designed by the greatest simulator creator Sid Meyer Silent Service has relatively poor graphics but the most
realistic gameplay that i've ever seen. The random generator is so good that your missions are always unique and you can play it hundreds of times and not getting tired because there is always something new to challenge you. The sound effects are very realistic and compensate for a poor graphics. When you hear sonar detection or noise of enemy destroyers
propellers under your head hunting you with depth charges you can almost feel it. Even rough graphics you can "explain" by poor visibility in the open sea and the fact that the sub you command is American and
not equipped with fine Zeiss optics like those of Germans! :)
I remember spending hours playing Silent Service, always upset if I didn't recognize the correct ship type and then resetting my ST... and how wonderful it was if you were 42 ft below and it was getting dark and they bombed the hell out of your sub ;-)
