WILL IT RUN on windows.

I bought the original back in the day (1992), I had a computer that would run it at max performance and it still crashed.  I remember it would have to be saved inprogress and re boot the computer to defrag the ram.  And not to forget having a Harpoon boot disk to set you computer up to run it.

I was friends with one of the designers and he could offer not help.  I then bought Harpoon 2, better graphics, but still it crashed.  (How long did it take  you to turn off the video of missles being launched).

I then bought the redux version online and it still crashed.

Ok, I am done venting.....I will again go into the breech and buy this game.... I just want it to work.

Looks like you had the experience of everyone else who played Harpoon Classic and Harpoon2. I, too, turned off my missile launch animation after the first few times!

However, I am not certain how compatible Harpoon97 may be with WindowsXP.  IIRC, H97 ran okay with Windows 95 or 98, but wasn't happy with WinXP, according to a number of different messages posted on various fora.

Good luck to you and hope that it gets up and running for ya'

Status: offline 		My last prediction said it would be about two months from August 19th but that I can say with certainly was too ambitious, that's all of my prognosticating for now :) I can say HCCE is a worthy improvement over HC97, before HC2002 you couldn't pry me away from Winharp (the Win3.1 generation of HC), HC97 interface just wasn't my cup of tea. But HC2002 won me over and HCCE is many steps farther than HC2002.

It's getting close enough to Christmas that I need to start planning what Matrix release I will be finding under the tree. Any chance for another prognostication?

Okay, almost forgot to end the weekend with another horribly inaccurate prediction. I'll say the product will be available for digital download on January 15th (my brother's birthday).

We took the beta internal as we are updating Graphics and Sounds.

Tony - is now (again) part of the team.  For this release he and his crew (Brad and Akula) are helping with the databases and scenarios.  After we release they will be taking over the product and adding some selected cool features.

Status: offline 		Thanks Uncle H! I am set to purchase a copy whenever it is released. I guess I'm just thankful this ol' game is still on the market. While I do enjoy the H3 game, there is just something about the playability of the original that keeps me interested.

Thanks for all the work.

Ah bummer, so what did we bet anyway Justascratch? Looking more and more like you could be right with the 15th of Feb.

Status: offline 		Any update on release date ETA for HCCE 2005? I mistakenly purchased H3 ANW, before I located my HCCE 2002 installer and realized that was by far my Harpoon of choice. I think the HCCE interface blows away what H3 ANW offers. Anyway, I look forward to HCCE 2005, and any updates as too availability date would be appreciated.

Thanks

WESTPAC for HCCE? - 1/29/2007 7:46:39 PM

Status: offline 		Thank you CV.
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to get the WESTPAC Battleset installed into HC2002, and if so where I can obtain it?

I own both HC2002 & H3 ANW, and  I see WESTPAC is available in H3, but I much prefer HC 2002 due too the interface. If not available for HC 2002 now, will WESTPAC be included in HCCE 2005?

Thanks in advance

Status: offline 		WestPac cannot be added to HC2002. It can be added (beta version) to HC Gold (if you have the EC2003 battlesets you have HC Gold). Hmm, it looks like AGSI has removed that download (WestPac beta). Anyway, WestPac will be a part of HC2005 having the same feel as HC2002. More fun to come after release ;)

Status: offline 		Yes I have HC Gold, I get confused with all of the different versions. Bummer that the Westpac Beta download was pulled, guess I'll have to wait for HC 2005 (or HCCE or whatever the proper label should be). If anyone knows where I can access the Westpac Beta download, please reply. Thanks all!

This appears to be the Westpac upgrade based on other discussions in another list

I need to look for it myself but I'm sure I have it. If I ever get organized I could be dangerous. ;-) .....

Tony/Don - If / when I find it is it still kosher to pass it to him ?
