Harpoon 1

From the Database of Home of the Underdogs

GAME DESIGNER:Larry Bond & Gordon Walton
GAME DEVELOPER:Three-Sixty Pacific
GAME PUBLISHER:Three-Sixty Pacific

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 and hypothetical. The level of detail, complexity, and nuances is staggering– you will discover new gameplay subtleties every time you replay the game, for years to come. Not to mention learning a thing or two about classified information . Steep learning curve maybe the only fault here– but hey, it IS a hardcore naval simulation 🙂 Two thumbs up!
