Silent Steel (PC) Playthrough - NintendoComplete
485A beginning to end playthrough of both possible paths through Tsunami's 1995 PC game, Silent Steel.
Silent Steel was a pretty cool "cinematic strategy adventure" (as it was billed on the packaging) that rehashes the same tropes that were already pretty well worn by the end of the Cold War (and the release of The Hunt for Red October). You are the CO of a boat cruising along in the Med that finds itself being stalked by both Libyan and Russian submarines. Despite its incredibly short playtime, it did come on four CDs, but the full screen video looks fantastic as a result.
This is the standard PC CD version, and not the version designed to take advantage of the Sigma MPEG-1 decoder card. The MPEG version's video quality is a substantial improvement, however, the hardware was obscure and hard to come by at the time of release, let alone nearly 20 years later.
If you'd like to see my playthrough of the 1999 DVD re-release, check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyGbQKxeMhI
