	Out of Eight PC Game Reviews: Harpoon 3 Advanced Naval Warfare Review
		The Harpoon computer game series, dating all the way back to 1989, is based off Larry Bond’s miniatures game dating all the way back to 1979, and has long been a favorite of wannabe naval commanders who want hardcore naval action (remember: don’t ask, don’t tell).
		Harpoon 3 ANW uses essentially the same graphics and sounds as Harpoon II that was released for DOS in 1994, and it shows.
		The overall game is geared more towards the advanced player due to the complexity of the included scenarios (there are a lot of ships), but the inclusion of the formation editor and missions makes controlling a large number of units a viable feat.

		The Chosen: Well of Souls is a nice little $20 game that brings to mind Diablo and Dungeon Siege, only not quite as good, but not quite as expensive either.
		For a game based on a mid 1980s scrolling shooter franchise, Project Sylpheed really has a lot of whistles and bells, though probably not enough to challenge Wing Commander’s dominance.
		Capcom Puzzle World is a lousy collection of bad games that happens to also be very buggy.

	Harpoon HeadQuarters » About Harpoon
		Harpoon is a series of the world’s most accurate unclassified simulators of modern air and naval warfare.

		Harpoon 3 for PC was released in February 2002 while Harpoon 3 for Macintosh was released back in 2001.

		Harpoon was used by Tom Clancy during preparation of his first novel, The Hunt for Red October, and also for modelling the story for Red Storm Rising.
		The game itself is, as most serious naval wargames, meant for play with miniature ships.
		In most games, a referee is useful for those cat-and-mouse scenarios where the referee coordinates the plottings of the players, revealing the enemies' plottings when in range.

	HARPOON II by Three-Sixty
		Harpoon II, the new follow-on (but not sequel!) to the very successful Harpoon, has been eagerly awaited for quite a while.
		Harpoon II does indeed exist, as does 360, and it seems to be well on it's way to taking the place of the original as the premier modern naval simulator.
		Harpoon II allows the designation of areas which are off-limit to units except under direct orders.

	Harpoon Classic 97
		It is called Harpoon Classic 97, and it is the latest reincarnation of a strategic military game that has been around in one form or another since the early 1980's.
		This version of the game, in the form it is in now, is an improvement over the original game that was released.
		The exact status of this game since it was cast adrift from the original publisher has been a gray area for a several years, and this incarnation seems to have lifted that cloud.

		Sometimes older games with no contemporary counterparts hold up so well that you'll find yourself wistfully thinking, "If only they'd upgrade it to run on the computer I have now." This is a standard strategy gamer's lament for classic titles like X-Com and Master of Magic.
		With Harpoon 3, all these elements are intact and ready to run on the computer you have now.
		The game simulates being in command of naval forces (including aircraft, and although rarely, ground troops) from the perspective of a commander staring at an electronic screen.

	Chapter 7 - Designing Computer Games
		Manual games have a lot of problems with vehicle simulation, so computerized vehicle simulations have done very well while their manual counterparts languish unplayed by gamers with increasingly less time for games.
		This team approach is becoming increasingly common, particularly since current computer wargames are so elaborate that many different specialists must be called in (for programming, graphics, interface, sound and documentation) that adding a game designer to the list is no burden and is usually a decided plus.
		The programming was done on a mainframe computer and all the players got together via their PC and a telephone call (through a modem).

		For further help in playing computer Harpoon, a good source is the Harpoon Battlebook which provides answers to many other questions and provides data the computer uses but is not in the manuals (although they are now in the ASCII data files that came with v1.30).
		ANS: Harpoon v1.x does not require a unit to be monitoring (ie patrolling in the vicinity) a sonobuoy for the sonobuoy to report a detection.
		Apparently, malfunction in the computer game is not related to actual use of the system, nor does it happen to anything but weapons systems.

		In fact, in recognition of the game's complexity, several computer versions now exist, where all of the calculation has been taken over by machine.
		The US fleet then launches a large strike of Harpoons at the approaching Soviet vessels, sinking the Sovremennyy and Udaloy, and forcing the invasion fleet to scatter south and east.

		However, the computer seems to launch weapons at the moment when their chance of hitting is highest.
		While logistics have always been one of the major aspects of warfare, games are supposed to be fun, and rare are the players who find logistics to be "fun." As Harpoon II is a simulation, as well as a game, logistics could not be ignored, but also could not interfere with game play.
		Harpoon II might not be the flashiest program on the market, but it is definitely -- in Shakespearean prose -- a "worthy scaffold." This review is Copyright (C) 1994 by Lawrence D. Matson for The Lionhearted and Game Bytes Magazine.

	MacReactor Review: Harpoon 3
		The game designer takes pride in closely the look and feel of how this sort of thing looks on the command bridge of a naval task force--too bad the microcomputer Harpoon 3 is running on can do much better (at least from a graphical standpoint).
		Clearly, this game's strengths lie in its enormous database of equipment and weapons, which inlcudes subtle variations on how sonar works through and around the thermal layer under the sea, and how elevation affects radar performance.
		But Harpoon 3 is just too clunky to make it with mainstream computer gamers who relish a quick game of Myth II or Starcraft.

		Harpoon became an instant cult classic amoung those who disdain graphics and love accuracy of battle modeling algorythms, the accurate movement of men, supplies and ships, battle statistics, and ship designs.
		Harpoon has won some of the most coveted game awards of all time since its introduction in 1989, including Computer Gaming World's War Game of the Year, Game Players Hall of Fame and Best PC Wargame, and PC Gamers top 40 best games of all time.
		Harpoon is not for everyone but it is an interesting exercize in tactics rivalling the game of chess for interest and game play.

	HARPOON 2 by Three-Sixty
		Harpoon II (H2) is a very detailed wargame simulating modern-day naval combat.
		The game runs 'clocked', where each second of your time represents as little as one second and as much as thirty minutes of game time - you can change this ratio at your desire, and pause it to give orders.
		You start the game by 'resuming' the clock - the game can crawl along as slowly as one second of your time to one second of game time (useful during intense combat), or as slowly as one second of your time to 30 minutes of game time.

		Harpoon 4 is slated for release in the summer or fall of 2000.
		The game is being done with a loving hand and fine attention to detail.
		With that in mind, and if you know anything about Harpoon II and Fleet Command, take Fleet Command to the 10th power and you have something close to Harpoon 4.

	The State of Computer Games
		Inevitably, we differed slightly on which games they are and had to concede that, in addition, there have been a number of excellent adventure, sport and flight simulation games.
		At the moment, the computer game can't beat a boardgame's visuals or player interface and has a tough job approaching the gameplay, but it can crank out thousands of calculations per second, take away the drudgery of bookeeping and cash and, even if only primitively, it can move those little trains around the map.
		To take Harpoon as an example, which is considered as a pretty good piece of software today, I think you might see it converted to Harpoon III with realistic 3D graphics offering viewpoints from any of the ships, planes or subs and with the computer opponent playing an even tougher role than at present.

		Harpoon II is a simulation of modern-era naval combat.
		It is a single player game, and takes place in real-time (though you can set the clock ratio to suit your needs and even pause the game).
		Rather than being a straight Cold War-style U.S.S.R. vs the USA game, Harpoon II's scenarios are mostly based on third-world encounters, such as USA vs North Korea, or Peru vs Ecuador, etc. Sometimes the sheer volume of detail can be overwhelming; this game is not recommended for casual wargamers.
