Silent Hunter III review

[freeboy]

not even that good, what is worse than a turkey? a huge steaming pile of cra*!

[RBWhite]

I've been wondering what that smell was coming from the storage cabinet under the TV, I guess I'll have to sh_t can SS2 and try a little fabrezz.

I checked your profile, I see you have one of those weird last names thats hard to spell.

Whats your last name? how do you spell that?

Rick White, Whyte, Wite something like that.

[freeboy]

True story, won an award, really just a thank you from folks in Ireland.. it was a hand made plate very beatiful artisan made... with my name misspelled! Guy was so upset he made me a second one with last name corrected!

[RBWhite]

Thats a good one, makes you want to change your name to Smith.

I got one for you, My mothers father was an Irish Catholic and my father's father was an Irish Protestant, made for some strange family get togethers.

Better get back to topic.

I hope they make Silent Hunter III a lot more diverse and cover both theaters of war.

I am a true american Heinz 57, mom's parents adopted her 80 years ago, and they where from the Rhinland... she was born here in the states... Dad's side is English, Irish and assorted other northern Euro.... I was never raised with racial predujuice, others but not racial.. so I was totally pidssed when I lived in Boston at the attitude I encountered especially by Irish americans directed at Cambodian refugees.. give me a break, 100 years ago our ancesters faced tough times and even in the US had to scratch their way up!
This is not to say all poeple of Irish ancestry are bigets... my favorate one was the girl at the office wearing ORANGE on St. Patties Day! Amazing...

I hear you, Know what you mean.
35 years ago Before I was Discharged from the Navy I got sent to the South Boston Naval Ship yard. Seen It all. It was worse than. I think it was called L street.

Take Care

RB you really do have old machines. I havn't heard the words Age of Rifles in a long time but it is on my old DOS drive along with my other classics.

[freeboy]

Same for me in High school in NY, Long Island... My friends folks taught them all that master race shit.. what as@holes! Never really appreciated how bad it is in the states for blacks untill my mid twenties buddy, nice good looking Black guy told me about getting arrested coming home from the late shift at ups or fedex or wherever he was working!
I am not one of these liberal, money and social programs.. fixers either.. a true conservative .. just one with a heart, at least I hope so!

[RBWhite]

Lately, The last 5 years or so I reverted back to the old standards.

Wasn't to much out their for us old folks. Doom upset my stomach, screen moved too much

One of my machines has a dual floppy drive a 3 1/2 & 5 1/4.

I completly clean my older machines twice a year, trying to keep them around as long as I can

Age of Rifles!!!!!!!!! Did I hear the magic name?

If SSI published it, I either have it or had it. I still have most of them, but my computer will not run them no matter what I try.

[RBWhite]

I like Age Of Rifles a lot.

Did you try Dosbox, works fine on the old games I tried to run under XP only problem I found is game speed vs computer speed. Old games suck if played to fast.

Should have kept an old 386 or 486.

Find a local private computer repair guy on the corner get the parts and build one [They all have a junk room]. It's not junk though.

I still have my Dos 6.21 & 6.22 upgrade and Windows 3.11 disks.
Also, Win95 & Win95B
A few old Hard drives, Win 3.11 would format up to 1.2 gig if the boards Bios would accept the drive, if I remember right.
Two old 540 hard drives are just right.
I also have a box with extra computer power sources.

[freeboy]

back when I was in between good games. I used dosbox to get one of those hex based whole of Europe games going.. what was it? not TR, could be future ed of Fortress Europa? anyway dos box saved my sanity, but its all govne now, lots of fun plying solitare RTW and pbem witp and BIN

[RBWhite]

Dosbox is still available version 0.62-32win-installer.
Work pretty good on WinXP
The only game I couldn't get to work was Jane's Longbow, it needs smartdrv. Not in WinXp.

RickWhite, I must add that the Subsim community has modded SHII to the point that it is actually enjoyable. If you still have the game, visit http://207.44.164.159/phpBB/viewforum.p ... 31826a19b9 and try out some of the fantastic SHII mods before SHIII becomes available.

[RBWhite]

I'll check it out


thanks

Just been over to Subsim, I didnt know there were that many others with SH2 & DC.

I'm going to register & log in.

Alot of threads and information, probly take half a day or more to digest all the information.

Maybe than I'll look at SH2 & DC in A different light.

I'll let you know.
