- This is a World War II submarine simultaion. The emphasis is on historic
- realism, although you can relax some of the historic paramaters. You can
- start playing at anytime during the war and even experience historically
- correct torpedos that start out with some bugs, and get better over time.
-
- I only played this game once in training, and once for real, so I can't
- comment on it much. It looks like it could be fun, but it also seems
- that the realism could bog you down with the cycle of - poping up to the
- surface, shoot, dive and evade. This game has been sitting on my shelf for
- over a month now, and I just don't seem to find time for it (I gravitate more
- toward role-playing and action/adventure), so I guess I better sell it.
-
- The overhead view lets you cruise at faster than real time until you come
- close to enemies, so you can burn off many days of simulation time getting to
- you target in just a few seconds. The keyboard overlay is nice, and I didn't
- mind much not having a mouse. The manual looks like other MicroProse (F117,
- Gunship 2000) manual and is 120+ pages. I can't tell you how good the content
- is since I didn't play long enough to really dig, but about half is dedicated
- to Sub strategy, Tactics, and some historical stuff.
-
- I am also including version updates downloaded from the MicroProse BBS.
-
- The game includes ALL original materials (including registration) in excellent
- condition.
-
- Will sell for $30
-
- I will pay shipping. It will be mailed inside a box with packing.
