688 Attack Sub

[Gunny Highway]

Anyone remember Attack Sub 688? Pretty fun sim from back in the day. Did they ever make a modern version of it?

Latest one I know of that did a proper modern submarine modelling was Dangerous Waters, but now that I look it up that was 12 years ago. There's Command: Modern Air and Naval Operations, but that's more of a successor to Jane's Fleet Command.

688-I Hunter/Killer? Loved that game. I moved on to Silent Hunter series.

SH4, heavily modded. was great. Haven't played it in probably 8 or 9 years though.

SSN-21 Seawolf was made by the same author, although it was much more streamlined IIRC.

I used to rent 688 attack sub from the local video rental place all the time for sega genesis, then i got the sega channel, and it was on that, was awesome, but when i got silent hunter 2, i just couldn't play it anymore... my cousin and I used to play destoryer command and silent hunter 2 multiplayer, super fun, i always used to make him play in the destroyer.

Dangerous waters was good. TMA was totally fun, hope to see it one day in DCS. The modded Silent Hunter set are still leading sub sims from a simulation perspective, either 3 or 5 modded, depending on your love of crew management. I went with 5 modded. You can do a lot of TMA from that too and it's real paper and pencil stuff when done in simulation style, something that get's me totally excited.

Man, Dangerous Waters pissed me off! :)

 

I had a friend flying and I was hunting a sub. I had it located and was just about to call the alarm when the AI voice took over and called it out. All that work and that little #$@! took all the credit. Never played it again.

 

SH3 modded was just the best sub sim ever, IMHO. :)

688-I Hunter/Killer, good old times. Played it a lot but never had that fun like in Silent Hunter II.

688I on the PC and The Hunt for Red October on the Amiga before that. Then Sub Command which has both the 688i and Seawolf classes as well as their Russian counterparts. I have also used Silent Hunter series and have the steel box version of SH3 :)

688I was ones of my first subs games on PC, with The Hunt of Red October previously on C64. After coming Fleet Command, 688i, Sub Command and Dangerous Waters, SH-3 and 4, Fighting Steel & Task Force 1942..... what times :).
