This thread reminded me of 688 Attack Sub, which I always thought was a MicroProse sim. TIL that it was originally done by EA. I ordered it from the Special Reserve games club in the UK back in 1990.

Going to local game shop and checking out the box (giant box compared to today). Rushing home and waiting for install of each floppy disk. The games, though limited in visuals, where really captivating. 688 attack sub. LHX. MIG-29 Fulcrum. F15 Strike Eagle. Jetfighter 2 (included the YF-23).
