About This Game
At 0400 hours on a Tuesday in 1942, the call goes out: BATTLE STATIONS!! An enemy convoy appears on the radar! SILENT SERVICE, the submarine simulation, delivers thrilling action, strategic depth, detailed visuals, and an ultra-realistic portrayal of a U.S. submarine in the South Pacific during WWII. Key features of SILENT SERVICE include all essential battle stations such as the engine room, conning tower, and bridge; realistic combat against individual ships and heavily guarded convoys; and endless tactical scenarios utilizing complete charts of the South-west Pacific and a sophisticated attack plotting system. This title stands as the most detailed and realistic submarine simulation available for home computers. Player-adjustable "reality levels" let you tailor the complexity, while time scaling keeps the gameplay demanding. SILENT SERVICE offers a broad array of historical scenarios ranging from lone strikes to full patrol missions, providing fun and challenge for newcomers and seasoned veterans alike. As the submarine captain, will you choose a quiet patrol in the Marianas Islands or the perilous waters near Japan? Will you opt for a submerged daylight periscope attack or a surface charge at night guided only by radar? Will you take the shot with a single torpedo? These choices and more await you as you join the elite ranks of the SILENT SERVICE! Across the globe, SILENT SERVICE is acclaimed as "The Best"...
