Back in the 80's I was a HUGE fan of 1st-person combat simulations:
-Stealth Fighter (MicroProse)
-Silent Service (submarine attacks against Japan)
-Red Storm Rising (submarine war against Russia)
-Strike Fleet (naval cruise missile attacks against Iraq)
-Elite (space trading/combat simulator)

2 questions:
(1) What are your favorite 1980's combat sims?
(2) What are your favorite Modern combat sims?

I used to play combat sims on my Apple II. One of which, I think, was named Surface Contact. You commanded a World War II era destroyer. Excellent scenarios on that one!

Now, I rely on Jane's for all my combat simulator needs. Ever play 688I? There are some REALLY good advantages of commanding the most advanced attack sub on the globe.

YOU command an attack sub? Cool! :-)
