Harpoon review:

Great game IF you are a wargamer. I am and Harpoon has managed to
drive me away from F-19 Stealth Fighter (I am also a flight
simulator fanatic :-). The very extensive databaseof units is great
and well worth the money by itself. The game is propgrammed right:
 a1000,500,2000,2500,3000 compatible, HD installable, no copy
protection. Performance on my machine (a500, 2 floppies, 2.5 megs of
RAM, 1 meg chip) is somewhat sluggish but speeds up if I copy
everything to RAM (leaving 350k free on my system while the game is
running). The box says 1 meg required, but the game managed to crash
on my friend's  2000 with 1 meg, so I would say that Harpoon would
be much happier with 1+ Megabytes of RAM.

If anyone wants a wargame review of HARPOON (i.e. Realism, gameplay,
playability) feel free to mail me.

Regards,
 OR
