Harpoon Cancelled !!!!!
« Reply #15 on: November 29, 2003, 03:41:55 PM »
I went to the United States Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point NY.  We had to take a number of Naval Science Classes focusing on Convoy Ops. etc.  We used Harpoon in "our Lab" ..we had our instructors create custom scenarios and we were graded on our performance.  I know Annapolis used it because we often  competed with students there.


If I remember correctly ..the Oscars were a beyatch..


The Russian Saturation attacks reminded me of Red Storm Rising....what a great game- I get excited just thinking about it.

Is the original software, Harpoon I, II, and III still considered copyrighted material? If not, is there any harm in, errmmm, someone hosting it for download?

Yeah Honky thats me..

Playing the begginer level on Harpoon Classic 2002 Gold, and I can't find any enemy! its been maybe more than 6 years since I played, how do I detect enemy ships? I've sent out patrols with sensors (but kept them passive) and still haven't found anything, I just see yellow circles, with a red square in the middle (i guess a Possible contact) but still nothing..
