Description
0400 hours, Tuesday, August 12, 1942… BATTLE STATIONS! BATTLE STATIONS! Enemy convoy identified on radar!

The world is deep at war, and you're submerged among the enemy. Prepare to dive into Silent Service, the submarine simulation that recreates authentic World War II sea patrols in the bloody waters of the South Pacific.

From the second you take command, you'll live by the motto FIND 'EM, CHASE 'EM, SINK 'EM, as you follow instruments, charts and your instincts in search of hostile convoys. Is a submerged daylight periscope attack best or do you charge in on the surface at night using only radar bearings to guide you? Do you fire a spread of your precious torpedoes or can you close the range and pick off the enemy with a single torpedo shot? These decisions and many more are yours to make as you take your place among the elite ranks of the Silent Service!
  • Includes Silent Service and its sequel Silent Service II.
  • Challenging combat versus single ships and heavily escorted convoys.
  • All the critical battle stations: engine room, conning tower and ship’s bridge.
  • An infinite variety of situations using complete maps and charts for the entire Southwest Pacific.
  • A wide selection of historical scenarios from individual attacks to patrol missions.

Genre Defining

This Review is based on the old Amiga Versions of these games. There are only few games, that define a Genre for each person, and in some cases, the whole genre only exists of 1 or 2 games for some people. This is the case for the submarine simulation genre and both Silent Service games. I have tried some newer games every now and then, but somehow I never felt the same fondness with these games, as when going back to the good old Silent Service. And once you found the Yamamoto in SS2, and played cats and dogs with their escorts, trying to get the one good shot at that beast of a ship, without wasting your last few torpedoes on some destroyers you'll see, that behind those (even for me) old and boring graphics is an excellent game, well worth the few bucks you'll have to invest nowadays. Thanks gog for keeping these games alive, that defined a whole genre for some of us!

More love for old subsims!

Thanks for bringing this to GOG, although this isn't my favourite sub sim - Aces of the Deep and Silent Hunter 1 claim that title. Aces for its sheer atmosphere, and Silent Hunter 1 for its low-tech-but-smooth gameplay. I wish Ubisoft would get a move on and do a proper new Silent Hunter that isn't a) a boring online snorkfest or b) a buggy mess with borked controls that only has good graphics going for it because they look good on a retail box. A new Silent Hunter with an emphasis on sound, a lot of crew audio feedback and boat fx, clever destroyers that give you a run for your money but actually have to look for you before they drop their ashcans on you AND a nice career mode full of historical references via night club chatter/newspapers/radio messages would be awesome.

Game Sucks

The game is very outdated. The letters are all stretched out so you can't read them on your screen. But what killed this game for me is that. It does not work. It keeps getting stuck and many of the keys that the game states I can use base on the paper work that came with the game do not work. Their is no way to turn the game off from with in the game. I 'm going to return this game to GOG. Not worth the wast of time you will use to deal with this game or try to make it work .
