Looking back on this now as an adult, I'm surprised by just how good the story and acting is AND how satisfying it feels to finally see where this story goes. This is great.
Fantastic game. I received Silent Steel with a bunch of other goodies in 1995 when my parents purchased in IBM Aptiva for Christmas. That first PC we had changed they whey I viewed computers and how video games can be played. Me and brother spent hours playing Silent Steel and was a very challenging. We never defeated the game growing up and it wasn't till someone was able to parts of it up on UA-cam in on how to beat it! You can go on Ebay and find this game at a fair price or just get an emulater. Probably one of the best Full Motion Video games that was created in the 1990's. Wished they made a sequel to it.
This was played through emulation, but good luck finding the game itself online! My discs were all scratched up and I searched up and down for files to download. Came up with nothing, I ended up buying it again off of eBay. It was a great game though. Did you ever play Flash Traffic: City of Angels? Totally different game, but it's an interactive movie by the same company, plays really similarly to this.
NintendoComplete I heard about them in the past. However I never saw or played the games (or the DVD's). The Mad Dog McCee series was pretty good and the COPS FMV was fun to. Would you be able to upload those games on your account that you and I mention?
Charlie Cat I didn't even know there was a COPS FMV game! :) Unfortunately, it looks there no emulators support it, so I can't really do one of those. Flash Traffic and Dragon's Lair shouldn't be too hard to do though :)
I remember when Radio Shack was selling the all black Aptiva with the "New" Pentium 200, a 4 meg video card, (I think) 16 megs of ram, and wireless keyboard and mouse bundled with The Mech Warrior. The graphics on that game were killer!!!!!! I wanted one bad but I couldn't afford the $2,500.00 price tag!
Charlie Cat I have a few of those laser games on disc somewhere. I know I have Mad Dog McCree, Who Shot Johnny Rock, Drug Wars, Space Pirates and one or two other ones. I'll have to find the disc and see which ones they are. I installed them in a M.A.M.E.arcade machine I built back in 08.
I'm surprised games like these aren't packaged with an emulator and distributed for phones and tablets. Already made, some minor tweaking, then sell for a couple of bucks. These are far better than most free to play scams. Plus, they're appealing to the casual crowd. "Her Story" was well received, would be nice to see the good games from this time period get some life back into them.
Qeni Arbarhzerohrhoht The problem is, this game constantly expects you to make choices that seem completely counter-intuitive unless you know ahead of time what's going to happen. For instance, unless you follow a very rigid series of choices, almost any other attempt to search the hull will result in the Akula showing up and murdering your ass without warning. Then there's the fact that the very first thing the game wants you to do is be a douche to your XO for no reason rather than actually follow regulation.
Thanks for doing this! I had this game for years and could never get anywhere, I had no idea you had to do everything perfect, so unfair! I remember playing it at work before and writing down the 45 response to win from an FAQ to finally see it through, good stuff.
Had this back in the day on PC. Loved it. It always made me feel like I was part of an interactive movie story where my choices mattered, even when I messed up.
I never beat this game as a kid. I was always too busy trying to find my pants and Rolaids at the start of the game that the enemies always ended up destroying my sub.
I was curious to see if this was out there. Specifically because I’m the guy on the far bottom left in the thumbnail. Worked on this when I was about 19. I did NOT expect to see my face pop up. Lol. Wow, this brings back some memories!
@@NintendoComplete It was a lot of fun. The bridge of the submarine was in a warehouse they converted into a soundstage, but the other rooms were shot on an actual ship and a submarine. I think they were museum ships by that point. We did shoot things over and over again because they had to get all the options for people to play. But, yeah, I had a great time. It’s weird seeing these guys faces cuz I remember being there. Everybody was pretty laid back, we were all just having a good time.
"Put the gun down Wheeler, you don't really want to hurt anyone." -- Dude just blasted a guy in the chest!! No one even addresses the crewman that is dead and bleeding on the ground during this entire scene lol.
I just googled a few of the things they say in this game and it seems like it's pretty accurate, or at least they put some effort into it. I remember loving this game! Thank you for the upload!
the one who plays the XO is my idol!his name is Brian McNamara. They wrote his name wrong actually. He is like the funniest guy! the bloopers are amazing! thank you for sharing the video buddy. ;)
NICE work in this, Brian. Another name they got wrong is bad guy Fred Lehne: The credits have a G at the end of his name. Goofy! He played a superb bad guy.
I was reading an article about games that people felt they were the only ones who remember playing them. And while this game isn't that, it was a game that I remember always excited to get at when I went to my aunt's house to visit my cousins. I always keep saying now that today's youth would be mind blown that some games didn't always work after install and then you learn about the "boot disk". But I did come out finishing Police Quest!
Would be pretty weird if they actually did that in the Navy... Captain: "Prepare to launch the torpedo" Lieutenant: "Sorry sir, you must insert disc 2" Captain: "........."
They just completely ignored the poor guy Wheeler shot. I know they were relived that they all survived but damn he just got murdered right in front of everyone and they just ignored it.
well damn... THIS game came with our family's first ever PC, back in 1996. I remember i played it a few times, and had no idea what was happening because i was 9. I do remember the line " where the hell are my damn rolaids" and thought it was so cool he said the word hell and damn lol.
i got this game with an expensive IBM APTIVA 1995 !! with some other games (MYST & ADV HYPERMAN) ... and not forgotten Magic Theatre the only thing still alive from this IBM is the subwoofer (subwoofer yamaha yst-msw10) and im still using it :D
Man, every time I watch the movie Christmas With The Kranks.. I see the actor who played Ensign ( Mr. Foster) in this game and remember the days of silent steel. Hahaha
We had this game on our IBM Aptiva computer, which ran Windows ‘95. My Dad would play this game several times, but NEVER got to the end. This is pretty interesting, to say the least.
Awesome game!!! I first played the Demo (which I still have) when it came bundled when I bought a Packard Bell back in 96. and I also have both the original DOS / Win3.1 / Win95 CD-Rom version and the DVD version. The game must be a collectors item now because Amazon sells the DVD new starting $189.18 and going to over $400.00!! I'm glad I got the DVD back in the day as it was only $10.00 with shipping.
Oh man, a 96 Packard Bell. Was it one of those famous "pizza-box" style machines? I remember those so well, the late 486s and early Pentiums - those computers were tiny! Nice on the DVD version - it's virtually impossible to find. I had to buy the discs again to play this for this playthrough, and got the 4CD original release set off of eBay for about $12 after shipping. I wanted to get the DVD version because of the improved image quality, but yeah... I wasn't interested in spending hundreds on a game that I liked but didn't really have any particular obsession over. Hehehe... that's not to say that I haven't spend hundreds on an NES game (I really could swear endlessly at my copy of Bubble Bobble 2 for what I paid), but... I'm sure you know how it is ;) Make sure to keep that one and not get rid of it, it'll only go up in its value! Does it run on a regular video DVD player?
NintendoComplete My old P.B. was the tower type. At the time it was a kick ass computer. It had (I think it was either) a 13.5" or 14" monitor with those crappy speakers that attached to the sides. The CPU was a Pentium 120, it had 8 megs of ram, a 2 meg video card, a 33.6 modem and a "Quad" speed CD-ROM drive!!!. As far as the S.S. DVD goes, I keep it in new condition and I only play once in a great while. Also, it works on pretty much anything that will play a standard DVD such as a PS-2, PS3, XBOX, 360, and DVD ROM drives etc.... If I get a chance, I will try and do a game play video and post it here on the tube. However, the DVD game play is a bit different than the CD ROM version as far as the scenes go and there is no "Player Voice" but the graphics are definitely much better!
GuitarGuys7299 Man you are taking me back. I remember those monitors, the speakers were awful! I had a Zeos at the time, before they were bought out by Micron - did you ever see them? The cases were huge! The desktop was about the size of a tower lying on its side :O Or for better comparison, we had a 17" monitor that we bought as an upgrade with the computer in 1995, and for as huge as the monitor was, it still fit on top of the box with no problem. Mine wasn't quite as balla on the CPU front, but it was a wicked machine at the time- a P75, 16megs of ram, quad speed CD, 1 gig hard drive, Diamond Stealth accelerator card with 4meg VRAM. Holy hell it screamed! :) Two years later we popped and extra 32 megs of RAM into it and a new P133 chip. I loved that machine. One thing I don't miss about those days though - DOS memory configurations. You remember the ridiculous conventional base memory requirements, like LucasArts had? They were like "540k of conventional memory required to run" which meant screaming at QEMM386 and playing endlessly with the order the drivers for the mouse, video, and sound as they were being initialized in the autoexec.bat to eek out as much as possible. ...nostalgia be damned, I hated that aspect of PCs. Windows 95 DOS mode didn't make it any simpler, either lol
NintendoComplete Ahh the good old days of personal computing! Speaking of the good old days, remember the old Commodore 64, the Texas Inst. Tandy TS-80 with the "Cassette Tape Drive", the Apple 2 E's and 2 C's? And I forgot to mention, my P.B. had a 1.2 GB hdd. Which back then was like a Terra Byte today! As far as the Zeos, I never heard of that one. And yes I remember the " Quarterdeck Expanded Memory Manager" QEMM and using HOOKRAM to load drivers before QEMM as well as having to configure IRQ addresses for the old ISA slots (Good ol' Industry Std. Architecture you had to love it) so your sound card and modem would work properly, Com port configurations, editing and configuring system and batch files like Autoexec.bat etc.. and configuring the memory such as HIMEM.SYS and all of the other lovely DOS configurations. All of that work just to play a friggen video game!!! I loved every minute of it. NOT!!!! :D
GuitarGuys7299 Oh yeah. That's going way back into my childhood at that point, but I remember my dad having a VIC20, a IIGS, and eventually a Tandy TX-1000 which was amazing. I think a C64 made it into the mix at some point, but I ignored it for the other computers. Hahaha ISA cards were insane, you remember how big they could be? I had an ISA AWE32 sound card, that card had to be at least a foot long - it would never fit in a modern case, regardless of how roomy it might be! That is, if you could find a motherboard produced within the past 15 years years with an ISA slot :O I remember it being a big deal when PCI VLB SVGA cards came out. So much power, and so tiny! ;D
I've never played this game, but it's reminding me of a book I read last year called Firing Point. Actually I got right into stories about submarines last year and I really enjoyed them.
I remember this game when my father bought our first computer that had Windows 95. This game was included but was a demo. No matter what choices I made, the submarine was always sunk. Perhaps this game wasn't meant for an 8 year old. :P
WTF? 41:00 They are just joking around stepping over the body of the dude that just got shot in the chest @ 39:25, its like nobody cares or did they already forget about him?
i had the demo that come with my windows 95 Packard Bell compupter, a week later i begged my dad to call the 1-800 number to order the full Game, the whole game was AWESOME, i loved the bloopers
Seems like a fun game :D And it didn't have those really bad scan lines you usually see on FMV games so thats a plus. "Great job saving the nation son, you do your country proud" xD The actors are all pretty good at their jobs. I also didn't know the captain was called a 'skipper', I always thought it was used for new officers or something. I actually had to look it up.
Been trying to place the guy who plays the XO, and figured it out. He was on a Disney pilot for a show that didn't get picked up as a show after airing called Earthstar Voyager. I think also Arachnophobia.
Master Chief was my favorite a true G with a Cigar especially if you choose him at the ending. Some of the options were also funny "Captain Using the Rainlocker" or getting some Rolaids. Or Giving the master chief 5 minutes to rough up the petty officer lol.
They keep getting the helicopter designation wrong, that isn't a SH-3, it's an SH-60. Also, the helicopter didn't carry Mark 48 torpedoes, too big and too heavy, they instead carried the lighter Mark 46 torpedoes. Also one thing I'm surprised about that wasn't included in the first video, there is an extended scene where the Admiral transfers your communication to the CIA Agent in the situation room that he was arguing with where she gives you some backstory (though not enough in my opinion) about why there are two submarines from two different countries (one the Akula from Russia, with President Boris Yeltsin, was generally friendly with us when he was heading Russia) hunting for your submarine.
There are plenty of things wrong with this, but you gotta remember, it's not the US Navy--it's a computer game. Here's another one: watch closely when Ice Cream returns to the carrier. The shot of it being "recovered" by the ground crew is actually footage of a helo preparing to launch (crewman disconnecting gen power, etc.).
Too bad both these win playthroughs skip the briefing about the Kilo being a chameleon. Yeah, you can figure it out yourself, especially in the second playthrough, but it's like watching a movie with a key plot point cut out.
why is there always an error when i go to play this? it says try again later. i keep tryign again later and get the sane thing. dont they like me or something?
Playing this as a kid, I could never get very far. It's amazing to finally see how it would have all played out. The nostalgia is real.
Looking back on this now as an adult, I'm surprised by just how good the story and acting is AND how satisfying it feels to finally see where this story goes. This is great.
I only had the demo. Now, almost 20 yrs later, I finally get to see how it ended. Thanks for uploading this.
James Bryan I played the heck out of the demo
@@charliesmash same.
I was so pissed at that demo, because I didn't know it was a demo. I kept getting torpedoed. Nothing I could do to save the ship!
I had this game as a kid. No idea where it game from. Remember playing, but can’t remember finishing it.
I just found the demo CD as I’m cleaning up my room getting rid of old things. Wanted to see if anyone played it online 😂
This brings back a lot of Windows 95 memories.
actually it's windows 3.1 judging by the word "Program Manager"
@@pasha21363 this game shipped with a lot of w95 systems
I just found the old promo disc of this game that was packed in with my ancient Packard Bell way back when. Nostalgic.
'Packard Bell' now that's nostalgic! :)
My Packard Bell came with this demo, Journeyman Project Turbo, and Encarta Encyclopedia... Those were the days 😢
SillyJo it took me YEARS to beat Journeyman Turbo.
@@JumbledEye Same! I remember some maze style firt person bumper car looking game as well

This and Cyberia. This was cutting edge back then....

"Her Story" was well received, would be nice to see the good games from this time period get some life back into them.
I wish they would do that but sadly they won’t and also I think the people who made this game went chapter 11 a long time ago -:
since i was a kid on the 90´s i always wanted to see how this history ends. thankyou for sharing
this game and the Journeyman Project Turbo and Carmen Sandiego: USA were my favorites.
You could learn a lot from this. How to manage a ship, how to handle skirmishes, what goes on inside a naval vehicle...

Np :) yeah the trial and error can be a bit brutal but it's a fun game!
God I loved this game. But I always got killed
Me 2 or was tough
U did everything I didn't do Hana
It always had me switch to disc 3 and the opening scene was a torpedo being fired at me
Haha that's brutal. Not only does it happily kill you constantly, it makes you switch discs just to tell you ;)
@@NintendoComplete Oh my god, the switching discs just to get killed instantly... MEMORIES
Had this back in the day on PC. Loved it. It always made me feel like I was part of an interactive movie story where my choices mattered, even when I messed up.
Shoutout to every computer owner equipped with Windows 95 and the bundle of demo disks that had this and journeyman project.
My very first system was a Packard Bell in 1995 with that exact bundle
My dad and I probably played this 7,000 times when I was a kid.
I never beat this game as a kid. I was always too busy trying to find my pants and Rolaids at the start of the game that the enemies always ended up destroying my sub.
Bravo for posing this! I love this game to death when I was a young teen.

I played this years ago when it first came out. Could never beat it.
39:55 "Put the gun down Wheeler, you don't really want to hurt anyone."
Umm, yeah...except for the guy he JUST shot in the chest at point blank range.
I know! And after Wheeler's disarmed, they crack a joke. Erm... guys? There's a man bleeding out on the floor behind you. Get a medic?!
What is sad, is that this acting is better than what Hollywood puts out present day.
Lol. Ouch.
Ensign Foster was played by John Short. He had a minor role in Apollo 13.

SPOILER ALERT: At 29:23 the black dude gets killed, then like a minute later, everyone forgets about it.

Had the full version of the game but no matter what choices I made, always ended up sunk! :( Thanks for letting us see how it ended!
Back in the day when your game disc held about as much information as a music cd
And you had to have all four disc to play the game -;
Lolol @ 12:50 "Sir - please insert disc 4 to continue..."
Would be pretty weird if they actually did that in the Navy...
Captain: "Prepare to launch the torpedo"
Lieutenant: "Sorry sir, you must insert disc 2"

Windows 95 DOS mode didn't make it any simpler, either lol

Ahh the good old days of personal computing! Speaking of the good old days, remember the old Commodore 64, the Texas Inst. Tandy TS-80 with the "Cassette Tape Drive", the Apple 2 E's and 2 C's?
And I forgot to mention, my P.B. had a 1.2 GB hdd. Which back then was like a Terra Byte today! As far as the Zeos, I never heard of that one. And yes I remember the " Quarterdeck Expanded Memory Manager" QEMM and using HOOKRAM to load drivers before QEMM as well as having to configure IRQ addresses for the old ISA slots (Good ol' Industry Std. Architecture you had to love it) so your sound card and modem would work properly, Com port configurations, editing and configuring system and batch files like Autoexec.bat etc.. and configuring the memory such as HIMEM.SYS and all of the other lovely DOS configurations. All of that work just to play a friggen video game!!! I loved every minute of it. NOT!!!! :D
GuitarGuys7299 Oh yeah. That's going way back into my childhood at that point, but I remember my dad having a VIC20, a IIGS, and eventually a Tandy TX-1000 which was amazing. I think a C64 made it into the mix at some point, but I ignored it for the other computers.
Hahaha ISA cards were insane, you remember how big they could be? I had an ISA AWE32 sound card, that card had to be at least a foot long - it would never fit in a modern case, regardless of how roomy it might be! That is, if you could find a motherboard produced within the past 15 years years with an ISA slot :O I remember it being a big deal when PCI VLB SVGA cards came out. So much power, and so tiny! ;D
reminds me of Star Trek, similar atmosphere, orders going out during a ship battle. really cool.
I love this game have the cd rom four disc version
i got this game from a demo pack and bought at staples for $20, i really enjoyed this game and the bloopers were top notch
I've never played this game, but it's reminding me of a book I read last year called Firing Point. Actually I got right into stories about submarines last year and I really enjoyed them.
I remember this game when my father bought our first computer that had Windows 95. This game was included but was a demo. No matter what choices I made, the submarine was always sunk. Perhaps this game wasn't meant for an 8 year old. :P
Ah, no wonder that Master Chief looked familiar.. He was the infidelious senator in LA Confidential!
WTF? 41:00 They are just joking around stepping over the body of the dude that just got shot in the chest @ 39:25, its like nobody cares or did they already forget about him?
Doc G I know right. He needs medical attention!
After popping him in the chest one of choices is “ put the gun down you don’t want hurt anyone”
He just committed first degree murder 2 seconds ago !
I was like 5 years old when I played this..I don’t think I even knew what the hell was going on..Was just winging it lol
39:28 are they going to ignore the fact that guy got shot?
Back in the day when video games could aspire to be anything, Silent Steel asked the question: what if Hunt for the Red October...was bad?
i had the demo that come with my windows 95 Packard Bell compupter, a week later i begged my dad to call the 1-800 number to order the full Game, the whole game was AWESOME, i loved the bloopers
I only wish, before going to the skipper they would have checked some pistols out of the armory.
Mr. Foster is the original McLovin
thx. i was 11 or 12 when i played this. never did finish.
Seems like a fun game :D And it didn't have those really bad scan lines you usually see on FMV games so thats a plus. "Great job saving the nation son, you do your country proud" xD The actors are all pretty good at their jobs. I also didn't know the captain was called a 'skipper', I always thought it was used for new officers or something. I actually had to look it up.
Been trying to place the guy who plays the XO, and figured it out. He was on a Disney pilot for a show that didn't get picked up as a show after airing called Earthstar Voyager. I think also Arachnophobia.
Master Chief was my favorite a true G with a Cigar especially if you choose him at the ending. Some of the options were also funny "Captain Using the Rainlocker" or getting some Rolaids. Or Giving the master chief 5 minutes to rough up the petty officer lol.
They keep getting the helicopter designation wrong, that isn't a SH-3, it's an SH-60. Also, the helicopter didn't carry Mark 48 torpedoes, too big and too heavy, they instead carried the lighter Mark 46 torpedoes.
Also one thing I'm surprised about that wasn't included in the first video, there is an extended scene where the Admiral transfers your communication to the CIA Agent in the situation room that he was arguing with where she gives you some backstory (though not enough in my opinion) about why there are two submarines from two different countries (one the Akula from Russia, with President Boris Yeltsin, was generally friendly with us when he was heading Russia) hunting for your submarine.
There are plenty of things wrong with this, but you gotta remember, it's not the US Navy--it's a computer game. Here's another one: watch closely when Ice Cream returns to the carrier. The shot of it being "recovered" by the ground crew is actually footage of a helo preparing to launch (crewman disconnecting gen power, etc.).
I believe the conversation with the CIA agent is on one of the "wrong" paths -- but maybe there are multiple paths toward winning.
Wow! XO has that mid-90s hair swoop. Made popular by Hugh Grant around the time of his Divine Brown scandal
Holy shit, my childhood.
I remember this was our first computer game! was never able to get very far. kept getting blown to hell xD
Wow. It must be annoying to skip around disks out of order like that.
My first game on my IBM 486
Tsunami made great stuff.
Wow nostalgic
I have just found this game in my old cd's. They are in very good shape. The problem is that it will not play on windows 7.
Too bad both these win playthroughs skip the briefing about the Kilo being a chameleon. Yeah, you can figure it out yourself, especially in the second playthrough, but it's like watching a movie with a key plot point cut out.
Does anyone know the name of the other game similar to this? They were playing detectives. That is all I remember
omg my mom acted in this....
+Lowcountry Adventures Ahahaha that's awesome
13:37
Lowcountry Adventures haha. I’ve known your mom for 23 years.
what software or emulator you used to play this?
do you have a real magic version of the game , its hard to find ? thanks
Weird. Literally just watched Jim Metzler (master chief in an episode of Deep Space Nine) amd then this comes up on my UA-cam page. Spooky.
This game is a giant pain in my a** never beat it properly
LOOK! IT'S MANIAC from Wing Commander!
I remember getting killed after the what's that bussing noise
the russian sub would always kill me.. "AKONYA!!"
why is there always an error when i go to play this? it says try again later. i keep tryign again later and get the sane thing. dont they like me or something?
time to see what FMV used to be
I never saw how it ended
Only guy to die was the black guy. Haha
Poor CHENG. He was a hero. Should've been wearing a red shirt.
good times :)
You boned us
