How about Harpoon, the naval strategy game?

I had the DOS, and later still (and still have) the Win/Mac version on CD, complete with scenario editor.

Nothing beats the Nuke release order . . . :blink:

I’m a long time player, and just recently updated to Harpoon 3 Advanced Naval Warfare. I started with the miniatures version by Adventure Games then got the Three-Sixty Pacific computer version.

Oh yeah, “Jutland”, “Fighting Steel” and the “Silent Service” and “Great Naval Battles” series. There’s nothing like lobbing shells the size of a VW Bug 20 miles.

Fighting Steel never worked right for me. Silent Service was good though. Tried finding some mods for FS to make it a little better but no luck at the time. So it was back to MicroProse F-19 w00t!! how could the graphics ever get any better!!?!?

MechWarrior 2……75 ton battlemechs slinging slugs lasers and missiles is better then VW size shells though :p

I had the original Harpoon but not the follow up. I’m playing the Sonalysts game “Dangerous Waters” right now in between Mass Effect 2 rounds.

Dangerous Waters isn’t bad, its more like Fighting Steel or Great Naval Battles. Harpoon, IMO, is definitely the leader in naval combat. The game is, basically, a decontented version of the software they use to teach US Navy officers at Annapolis and the US Naval War college.

You can’t get much more real than that. :laugh:
