Maybe you guys can help me out since I found a lot of games that are kinda like this but not quite.
It doesn't need to be a full-blown simulation, but it needs to be convincing.
What I want is a game that puts me inside a submarine, looking at screens full of radar and sensor information, and letting me control the sub in a realistic manner, only with the information provided in the control room. It's okay if the game jumps to an external view just to show the ultimate consequence of conflict, but mostly, I should be in the sub looking at screens.
Is there such a game?
Ideally, I play on the Xbox. My laptop is a potato, so it's only good for very old or otherwise lightweight games (technically speaking, this could easily be a command line game... like naval
htop
). Other kinds of naval simulation are good for this thread.Thanks!

Pop-Up Event: Ludonostalgia!
Task: Replay an old, favorite game that you haven't played in a long, long time. Tell us about how your playthrough now compares to your memories of the game.
Time Period:
This weekend! (November 10-14)
Update: Ludonostalgia is extending its hours through November 21st!Uh, what is this exactly?
Its me, kfwyre, trying out yet another post type on Tildes and seeing how it goes.
In the past I've done a "Backlog Burner" event that was a full month. It was a lot to commit to, and it ended up feeling like it lost steam -- too long for its own good.
I still like the root of that idea though -- people playing games with a specific purpose or focus. Something like a "Book Club" for games, but with a common theme instead of a common title, so people are free to choose what they personally like.
Thus, a "Pop-Up": a quick, short event that identifies a common focus that people can participate in together and doesn't require too much commitment. Basically, something unexpectedly fun to do for a week or a weekend.
If this kind of thing takes, I'd love to see it happen in other communities: ~movies, ~anime, ~music, etc. I'd also love it if other people did their own "pop-ups" on a whim, rather than it being seen as something that's "mine" to post.
That's jumping the gun a bit though -- this one is a sort of test to see if this sort of thing even has any legs in the first place.
Oh, and "Ludonostalgia" is a made up pretentious word -- because every good Pop-Up needs an iconic name.
