Developed by MicroProse, Silent Service arrived on the Commodore 64 as a simulation game.
It is part of the Silent Service series. The series also appears on other systems with Silent Service (NES). MicroProse also made Airborne Ranger, NATO Commander and Sid Meier's Pirates! for the C64.
Silent Service is a single-player game, so it's one to enjoy at your own pace.

- you have time for a quick session (under an hour, or endless arcade fun)
- you've played the C64 hits and want something less obvious

What playing Silent Service is like
