Is this anything like 688 Attack Sub?

I've been looking for a replacement for years.

I would say no. The controls are far less complicated than 688 Attack Sub. The campaign is more dynamic than the linear campaign in 688 attack Sub. The one thing missing in Cold Waters is a mission editor. That option was awesome in both 688 and Dangerous waters. I would say you could jump right in and run a campaign fresh off the download with Cold Waters in contrast to the hours and hours of reading and learning needed to work the most basic functions in 688 and Dangerous Waters. This game is similar to Red Storm Rising by Microprose. The company that brought us awesome games like Silent Hunter, Gunship, and Project Stealth fighter in the late 80's

Thanks for that, my attention span is less than it was, so it may be the right time to look at CW. Still room for a Sub simulator then?

Buy Cold Waters, give it a go, and then, if you're not comfortable with it, you can ask for a refund (providing that you've played less than 2 hours).

Honestly though, this is an incredible game that is well worth the money, especially considering there is nothing else like it on the market at the current time...

You will not regret the purchase. More content and campaigns are on the way plus Subsim.com has a few modest mods out now. The content will be free, might I add. Make sure to get the beta going. There have been some changes that make the game more real and challenging. I have or have had all of the submarine Sims out there and this one definitely is up there with the best. The Dynamic campaign is what I love most. No linear crap. When a mission editor final comes out, it will be over the top awesome.

Its on my wish list. Much appreciated, Happy New Year!

They are *more* complicated!
Cold Waters is way better than 688 Attack Sub.

Did you see the link actually? This leads to the 1989 688 Attack Sub game. It's nothing compared to RSR or Cold Waters :D

No. LOL. I was thinking of 688 attack Sub of the mid '90's and then then Dangerous Waters. I think these games were developed by EA. I guess i should have clicked on the link. i ASSumed.
