688(I) Hunter/Killer

The fact I got so much enjoyment out of this hardcore nuclear submarine simulator is how I know I'm getting older. Reading of the beefy manual is mandatory if you want to so much as submerge this thing. It'll be a while before you get comfortable with the controls, and even then it's a good idea to keep the manual handy. It's a game from 97 so the 3D graphics are very quaint, which does not mean they skimmed on the details. Moreover, the immersive audio design is doing most of the legwork in selling the experience: the faint propeller noises heard in the hydrophone as you hunt for ships, the hum of your own propeller which grows louder as you speed up, the sonar pings as you are hunted and hunt in turn, the screams of your men as you sink to the bottom... There may be more modern alternatives, but this game is still the complete package, and I highly recommend it if it seems like your kind of thing.

Gave me PTSD.

Although old, 1997, it is the most authentic submarine game ever. You need to be patient and willing to learn a lot of info and how to act upon it. If your looking for a submarine shooter game, this is not for you. If you want to learn a lot about commanding a sub, learning sonar, TMA and fire control this is the game. Be prepared for a long game.

Still one of the best submarine simulations of all time. Too bad content was limited back when it was made but they've patched it up enough to run smoothly even on Windows 11.

good simulator if you can get past the older graphics, and the 2 ish hours of reading the manual to actually learn how to play.

the soundtrack in this game is an absolute killer

It's an old game, but makes for an interesting experience.... You have some sensors... It's intense because it's not a visual sim at all... There is a learning curve but I recommend it...
