A hunter lurks beneath the waves!

Silent Service 1+2, a bundle of two legendary MicroProse classic submarine simulation war games, dating back to 1985 & 1990, now available on GOG.com for only $5.99!

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!

Silent Service 1+2 includes MicroProse's both legendary submarine warfare titles, that will bring you all the challenging combat versus single ships and heavily escorted convoys you could handle. All the critical battle stations are represented: engine room, conning tower and ship’s bridge. The games present you with an infinite variety of situations using complete maps and charts for the entire Southwest Pacific. With a wide selection of historical scenarios from individual attacks to patrol missions, and clear distraction-free graphics that allows you to stay on top of the situation, this classic pack provides you with everything that you need to feel the excitement of actual submarine combat.

Battle stations! Prepare to fully submerge in Silent Service 1+2, for only $5.99, on GOG.com!

Silverhawk170485: Silent Hinter 2?
Silent Hinter? You mean like a guy sitting next to you, pointing stuff on the screen, or nodding when something important is mentioned in dialogues?

You know, I'm not sure how well that game would sell with those 80's CGA graphics as a standalone purchase...

It could have been worse - you could have written "Silent Hintern".

It would, trust me. The graphics really aren't that bad, and the gameplay more than makes up for it .

Isn't it EGA graphics anyway.

Yes. ^^
The autocorrection on my smartphone sometimes plays tricks on me by altering words when I write in english.

But a Silent Hintern is still better than a Loud Hintern. xD

A bit dramatically outated, after the silent hunter series. But back then, these were incredibly good games. Most of my amiga hours went into silent service (god the pc version is ugly). Of course, I was a bit of a submarine warfare nerd, back then (my bookshelves still testify of it), but this should just further the point that silent service was a brilliant, brilliant- and tense- simulation.

Wow, I played the Silent Service 2 on the Amiga. Always confused it with Silent Hunter.

Now I miss only 688 Attack Sub and U.S.S. John Young from this time. That would be all naval games I played back then.

Edit:
Oh, I forgot Gunboat

Yep, just looked at screens and it does look like EGA.
