Submarine Simulators 1982-2015 

Silent Hunter III, very addicting and realistic game! I remember 2007 and how this game basically dominated all my free time.

I spent hours and hours immersed in Aces of the Deep back in the day - that was an early work of art!

Christmas 1988 I got Red Storm Rising, a great game (bloody hell, that was 30 years ago)

Silent Hunter III ❤️

Lads, it's just a matter of time before they make a VR version of "Silent Hunter 3". Strap on a helmet, turn the game on, your wife shakes her head, rolls her eyes, while you wildly run around the living room, waving your arms, working the rudder controls, the dive planes and the sound gear.

Silent Hunter III and Silent Hunter V (with mods) are the best.

Ive played and owned so many of those games. Still have them all that I bought over the years. I guess my two favorites are Silent Hunter 2 and 3 and Aces of the Deep. Aces had the first amazing water in it. Bought made me seasick with the rolling waves. So amazing back in the day. Before that in the late 80s I used to rent Silent Service on the NES. What fun days. Love them all. Great memories. Thanks for the vid!!

See ladies and gentlemen??? Here's how in the past several years, the subsim genre has been going from this true realistic simulator to the typical dumbed-down arcadish game!!!

Silent Hunter III with mods, the best sim imo.

the 688 hunter killer/sub command and dangerous waters trilogy plus the silent hunter 3 and 4 are the more realistic and beautiful even for todays standards subsims. From the older ones I loved seawolf, silent service 2, wolfpack and fast attack!

Dangerous Waters is by far my favourite submarine simulator, the details and realism of the gameplay is just amazing. The more realistic a game is, the more I love it.

*SH III

Good compilation. I remember playing Gato on my Commodore 128! I'd still be happily playing Up Periscope if the tech never got any better.

SH3 GWX mod or SH5 Wolves of Steel mod. I playing today with SH5 WoS, in my opnion this game is the best combination of realism/difficulty/graphics. You can decrypt some messages with Enigma, that was very interesting part for me. :D

thanks a lot for sharing, it costed for sure lots of time to finish it. very nice memory

Hadn't played Silent Hunter 3 since like 2008 (and since I was young af, I couldn't remember the name after reinstalling OS)... thank god I found this

Thanks for the look back at all those Crumby graphics that we thought back then were So Cool!

Nice compilation of sub sims!

great montage, thanks for including footage from my videos!

hi, thanks for the mention nice video

Command Aces of the Deep was my first subsim and it was so great! Today i play Silent Hunter 3 with Living Silent Hunter Mod

Damn, I found that game Aces of the Deep 🦑

Haven't we come a long way!

I loved Red Storm Rising so much!

Good video.

Thanks for using my footage!

One of the very first games I ever played was Sub Battle Simulator by Epyx on my Tandy CoCo3! I spent the equivalent of DAYS on that game! I remember it came on one floppy that was double-sided, something I didn't know was possible at the time since I was only like 8 or 9 years old. It was actually what got me into WW2, especially the Pacific Theatre, which I'm a huge buff of today. (In fact, I'm listening to the audiobook version of 'Retribution' by Max Hastings whenever I drive) Between SBS, Rescue on Fractulus and Koronis Rift, I spent more time playing than doing pretty much anything else. Lots of good memories. (Fun fact, in Sub Battle Simulator for the CoCo3, if you travel to the North or South Pole with your sub and go off the map, you end up in this Twilight Zone-type other dimension where the sub can travel on both water and land, your compass goes nuts and the map just shows tons of little islands all around you for hundreds and hundreds of kilometers plus there's no other ships, radio calls go unanswered back to base and it's always daytime! Eventually you get spit back out onto the map but it's surreal when you're there.) The only game to ever surpass my love for Sub Battle Simulator was Aces of the Pacific in 1992. It was the first 'modern' PC game I ever bought even before I had a computer to actually run it! I didn't care, the manual kept me busy enough, along with my imagination, for the few months until I got an IBM PS/1 486SX/25 for Christmas that year. I was NOT disappointed!

GATO

My favourite from the 80's was submarine commander for the comador vic 20 or comador 64, it showed u the ocean floor were you could hide in under water caves or in crevices deep on the ocean floor,. I have not seen any sub games that give u an accurate ocean floor

Still rocking Jane's 688i hunter Killer!

My dad was a first LT at an ASW base in San Diego. when i was a kid i would go in his office and play red storm rising all the time on his awesome IBM lol

Wow... I remember those graphics.....

"So it might be a Victor....PHHHRPT" I love FPSchazly

Jane's 688 the computer(1997))version was my favorite.

I was addicted to the original Silent Service back in the early eighties. Played it constantly.

Gato, Wolfpack, SSN-21... Hours of fun :)

Silent Hunter III was the peak, thenceforward the gerne goes downhill.

where you found all those games? LOL!!!! now I remember how many times I played GATO, 688 Attack Sub and all the others!! By the way, are not in the list HARPOON and HARPOON II, they were the fathers of CMANO.

#Greywolf was my absolute favorite growing up! Spent hours on it

Curious that you didn't include the Harpoon games in this, considering Fleet Command and such are there. :)

GATO got me started on subsim games. Pity that the perfect subsim has not been made yet. Silent Hunter V is the latest I have. It does a good job, but was far from finished when released. Apparently SH V was expected to make a loss for Ubisoft and they just did not want to finish it completely before selling it.

Red storm rising, truly a great strategy Sim.

Can't believe they missed 1 from 1997, Silent Hunter: Commander's Edition by SSI (Strategic Simulations, Inc in conjustion wirh AEON Entertainment.... This, came out the year after the release of Silent Hunter 1 did.

I actually have Silent Service! Didn't realize it was one of the first sub sims. Are you aware of any that are more current that focus on modern submarine warfare where you play as the submarine (as opposed to naval/air operations, which is a strategy game)?

Silent service was my first..lol

Fighting Steel had subs in it? What about then Great Naval Battles - some of those had sub ops in them also and Steel Ocean also has playable subs in it

To be fair: The Scenes from "Enigma: Rising Tide" is taken from my old YT-Account and the Gameplay i've uploaded around 11 years ago. /watch?v=VdAYaZ82r1w -> Around 10:05. But okay... i think there isn't much stuff from this game at RU-vid :D I felt like I knew the scenes :D :D :D

One game I had on cartridge for my Atari 800 8-bit computer not on the list - Submarine Commander (Thorn EMI) 1982.

Thing about subsims is they are playable forever! I still play Sid Meier's Silent Service!

I loves janes only I hated that you had to challange 3 missions to get further if the last on failude you started again on the first.fighting steel was my second

I loved silent service!

Silent hunter 3 for the king of all submarine games

God, I've played most of these!

I can't understand why Ubisoft has killed the Silent Hunter series!

We need an updated Silent Hunter 5. Same concept, you can enter and freely move around your ship, but it needs to be finished when its released, unlike SH5 was.

nobody has mention Cold waters a new submarine game from Killerfish games

You've missed one: *1987 The Hunt for Red October*

Hey by 14:14 how can I get the Typ 7B ?I have only the Typ 7 A but want the B :(

You missed out Submarine Commander for the commodore vic20, and it was brilliant because you could use the ocean floor and under water ravines to hide in

I remember i was at a Toy museum, and there was basiclly a Submarine Game But it was a russian Submarine Game, which had even a Periscope! P.S.: But it wasn't on any OS, it was just wired, but it was cool to see something old.

Good memories.

I love crash dive in android

SH5 Wolves of Steel for me. Was a bit hard to get working, you need an altered exe I think.

0:00 good old NavyField music

There hasn't really been a real modern sub sim since Dangerous Waters. I wouldn't class Command as a simulator even though it simulates the various systems/sensors better than anything else. Command is it's own genre. It's just a cut down version of what companies like BAE Systems and MoD's use to help determine capability and asset number requirements respectively.

Good

Three FPSChazly clips?

you might want to link the lets players whos content you used, seems a bit shady not to

Can Silent Hunter 3 or 4 still be played Multiplayer? Thank you

Oh how I miss Fighting Steel!!!!!...I have not played it in 12 years, I am so desperate to play it now that I would probably give someone head if they could get it to work on Win 10.

Sou fã de simuladores de submarinos, pena que eles necessitam de muitas horas livres para jogar.

I think you missed one it was called submarine commander on the commador Vic 20

ssn-21 seawolf was fun sh*t

I had sub hunt on m you c64! 1984

Type VIIc Virginia Type 95

what about Greatest Naval Battles series?

silent hunter 3 and 4 and 5 its goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood

silent hunter 4 with mods please,.....

ATARI hahaha it was for when we were kids!

cold waters

where is Harpoon?

i've played wolf pack but its a but confusing.

I think Silent Hunter 5 was a downgrade from 4 in terms of realism and in depth potential.

forgot 1982 Submarine Commander for the Atari homecomputers, shame on you!

Is there anything remotely like Destroyer Command out there ? NOT "World of Warships".

an actual sim would let you walk around on your sub IMO

i want my sub with extra ham ... some cheese and if you have some ketchup! thx!

Soooo basically shit got worse over time rather than better. Someone needs to re-create Silent Hunter 3 using the Silent Hunter 5 graphics.

Sigh...the Silent Hunter series needs a more passionate dev team. UbiSoft should stick to the never ending series of crossdressed thugs with fancy wrist blades that kids can't get enough of.

Basically all crap exept SH3 and 4.

sad to see this genre more becoming a crew management simulator then a submarine game.

This video is pretty useless considering the very low quality of the videos showcasing specific games. Silent Hunter 4 for example in this video looks worse than Silent Hunter 3 and Silent Hunter 5 is not that much better from the third instalment within the franchise. I like the idea of that video, but the quality of it makes it redundant.
