Silent Service MicroProse1986Join the elite ranks of Silent Service - the best selling, award-winning submarine simulation.

As captain of a World War II submarine stationed in the South Pacfic your goal is to seek out, track and sink Japanese shipping. Imagine the tension as you spot your prey through the periscope. You plan to attack when suddenly an enemy destroyer sights you. Hunter becomes hunted and survival depends on quick decision making.

In this simulation you live by your wits. All the critical battle stations are featured including the conning tower, engine room, ship's bridge and attack plotting system. Automatic time scaling ensures actions and decisions are constantly required as you undertake historical combat missions.

There are four skill levels and various 'reality levels' so you can customize complexity. Find out if you've got a head for depths.

[1]***In this real time simulation, the player can either command the Bismarck and try and escape the pursuing British fleet, or command the British ships in their search for the largest battleship in the world, and sink her before she escapes into the Atlantic to wreak havoc with the convoys. In either case the computer controls the opposition.

Armada Atari (Turcan Research Systems)1989The full story of the Spanish Armada is a fascinating piece of history. Starting as a great adventure it ended as a human tragedy on a massive scale. This simulation attempts to capture five days of the Armada's journey, the five days it took for the huge fleet to make its way from south of Plymouth to the Isle of Wight. The Armada was a very real invasion threat to England, but the clash of politics, religion, intrigue and misunderstanding was also very real. The Battle of The Armada offers you the chance to take the helm as Lord Howard, defending the English coastline against the attacking Spaniards, or even rewrite history by leading the invasion fleet against the likes of Howard, Drake, and Frobisher.***
