Description of Harpoon. The best naval simulation ever made, period. Based on Larry Bond's realistic tabletop wargame of the same name, Harpoon not only is faithful to Bond's game but adds many great features only possible on PC: comprehensive unit database, intuitive mouse-based interface, and outstanding scenarios, both historical. Now it’s finally been ported to PC with some help from Avalon Digital and its ready to take its place on our list of top naval war games. It’s worth caveating that as much as this features a tight design, deep gameplay and smart abstractions to cover the Pacific Theatre, it IS a port of a mobile game at the end of the day. For the PC, most of the Harpoon II interface can be utilized with your mouse and the toolbar. All mouse clicks described in this manual refer to a click with the left mouse button. The only exception is the use of the right mouse button to center the map display on whatever point you click using the right mouse button.
To celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Harpoon and give fans who enjoy playing the older versions a great archival edition, Harpoon Ultimate Edition includes more than 20 previous releases of Computer Harpoon including Harpoon 3 v3.63 and Harpoon Classic. This allows players who have databases or scenarios tied to these older versions to continue to enjoy them for years to come, and it will also allow new players who purchase the Ultimate Edition access to this rich older content.
