Play Silent Service Online
Command a WWII submarine in this brutally realistic NES sim—dodge depth charges, fix dud torpedoes, and try not to get your crew killed on months-long Pacific patrols.
Game Overview
Silent Service on NES throws you into the cramped, tense world of a WWII submarine captain. No fancy graphics here—just you, your crew, and the endless Pacific. I remember booting it up for the first time and immediately getting overwhelmed by the realism options. Early war means easier targets but garbage torpedoes that might just click harmlessly against hulls. Late war? Better tech, but the Japanese escorts don’t mess around.
What’s cool is how it lets you play your way. Want to just practice sinking some rusty old freighters? Go for it. Feeling ambitious? Try surviving a full campaign where one wrong move means your sub—and career—ends at the bottom of the ocean. The patrols actually feel long too; you’ll spend real time staring at sonar blips, calculating torpedo angles, and praying your hull holds during depth charge attacks. It’s one of those games where success feels earned, and failure… well, let’s just say I’ve restarted a lot of patrols.
