OT-Harpoon 2002 Gold
I know several of you on this board are wargamers, and have discussed the old Harpoon naval warfare game. Well, a group of fans obtained the rights to the game, and have slaved away for a couple of years updating the code and such. After a 3+ month long open beta, which I participated in, the final version has been completed and is now available for sale. They've updated the engine to 32 bit windows, and have made the database of ships, weapons, cities, aircraft, etc, completely editable in an access based database. They fixed many of the lingering bugs the older versions had, and have a slate of new features to add to the game still, including a complete world map to play on. I highly recommend checking this out. I plopped $10 down when I discovered they were doing this, and I'm going tonight to order my final copy. Anyway, I thought some folks might want to know about this.

Dola self-dump here, just in case it was missed. And I'll throw in the email to the Harpoon list, announcing the release.

Isn't a new Harpoon, 4(I think?) Supposed to be released soon? And by soon I mean about a year and a half ago?
Interesting though, I've never played the original Harpoon, as I've never been big into the Navy side of wargaming, but I've been meaning to try one out. Might have to look into this some more, thanks for the info! |

Yeah, Harpoon 4 originally had a release date of like summer 2000 I think, and we are still waiting for it today. I think this project grew out of the frustration of Harpoon gamers.
