The Global Conflicts Two and Three, Cold War, Westpac, and Regional Conflicts One battlesets were later released as add-ons. It was first released in 1994 on six 3.5 inch floppy disks and contained the battleset Global Conflicts One. Harpoon II was the MS/DOS version of the simulator. When released, the Harpoon 2 and 3 simulations were the most complex, realistic and accurate strategy-simulation of air and naval operations available to non-military users. If you are a fan of the original Harpoon Classic game you will enjoy this upgraded version. After work was completed and Harpoon Classic Gold shipped, Anthony Eischens and the rest of his team at HarpGamer took the reigns evolving the game into its current form, Harpoon Commander’s Edition (HCE) which is published by Matrix Games. Many new and exciting features were incorporated into the game laying the basis for what was to come. Work commenced upgrading Harpoon Classic 97 to Harpoon Classic 2002 Gold in the early 2000s thanks to Byron Audler, Don Gilman and the orginal HCE Team. Harpoon Classic 2002 Gold and Harpoon Commanders Edition (HCE) Click on any of the thumbnails for a full picture: In 1996, Alliance licensed Harpoon Classic ’97 to Interactive Magic, which developed the game further to Windows 95. Alliance Interactive licensed the code and rights from ACSI in mid 1994 and developed Harpoon Classic for Windows 3.1. Three-Sixty continued selling and updating the product until early 1994 when the rights reverted back to Applied Computing Services Inc., the original developer and rights holder. Harpoon Classic was the first computer Harpoon game and probably the world’s best naval game when it shipped from Three-Sixty back in December 1989. WarfareSims’ time and energy is now devoted to continued development & enhancement of Command: Modern Operations which has similar focus as Harpoon but with a much more pronounced balance between air and naval operations. The material is provided as-is and is no longer supported. Since the owners of WarfareSims have been avid Harpoon fans since the late 1980s / early 1990s, we decided (on popular demand) to keep some of the Harpoon material on our new site even though we’ve now scratch-built our own product that is not related with the Harpoon franchise. The guys behind HarpoonHQ (now WarfareSims) saw the signs of Computer Harpoon’s collapse as early as 2006 and started developing our own simulator named Command: Modern Air/Naval Operations which was released in September 2013. IMPORTANT NOTE: All further work on the commercial versions of computer Harpoon was suspended in mid-2013 after more than two decades.
