Nice catch about the last week of November comment. Unfortunately you give me too much credit. I am naive enough to believe that we will see a release in November

One benefit of the delay it's given me time to play a bit of team fortress 2.

Well, I could say it again and use AGSI words, but just read it for yourself at http://www.advancedgaming.biz/what-is-harpoon/classic.html

Thank you for the informations.

Do you think there will be a demo ?

Oops, missed that question about a demo. The official answer is there will not be a demo. The unofficial answer is, you'd better believe that one day (not the same day as release or even close) there will be a demo, some way, some how, as far as the coding goes, it is 'flip one switch' to create the demo exe (as it has been that way for many years and how most of the previous HC demos were made).

This count down has been going on for far too long, has it started, and stopped and put back on the burner for another year or what? ... Please provide an update if possible thanks

Are we counting down from some number like the federal budget (or deficit)?

Well, the most recent word from Matrix as posted on this thread said to look for the game before Christmas, I can tell you it isn't going to be in your candy sack for Halloween.

It's closer than it was the last time I posted. I expect to have good news and a much more firm release date by the middle of next week.

Well, work has slowed on the update, not much testing going on of the more recent changes we've made so I'm less keen on piling on more things to test. Health has been shaky and an influence too, my lucid moments are spent doing real work

. But with lots of doing nothing come ideas so I've been having lots of those, most of them require breaking the save file and scenario file formats and that's something we won't do for the first patch. The most far out ramblings can be seen at http://harpgamer.com/harpforum/index.php?showtopic=2272 , nothing short of leaving the game mechanics in place and replacing all of the surroundings (keep the brain, replace the 20 year old body).

In Matrixland , weeks are months and months are years. I would have appreciated a note saying , sorry I was wrong and have nothing for you. Oh well. Maybe next week/month/year.

AGSI, in concert with Matrix Games, has finished edits on the manual today. We should now be about four weeks from shipping. Stand by for the official press release from Matrix Games.

And...we (Matrix and AGSI) are looking for a Sysop for this forum. If you want to apply, send me a note as to why you are qualfied and I'll send that along with my comments to Matrix for their consideration.

It's been ten days since I posted. I apologize - in Matrixland, things are busy. We are looking to release Harpoon Commander's Edition within two weeks. I will keep you posted as I have a final date, there are many games right now going through final testing and production at the same time so we are getting them out as each is completed.

Thank you very , very much. I think I can speak for everyone who has been following this thread when I say that we really do appreciate being kept up to date. We just don't want to be forgotten. Thanks.

WOW... 2 weeks! Not that I'm skeptical but......

I sure hope that this is the real deal!! I play the HC2002 Gold regularly. I am excited to see if I can get an enemy to really engage me instead of lauching all it's aircraft due north!

if we extrapolate the previous notice of 4 weeks, I estimate we shall have the game in our hands by June 27th 2032.

It shall be a great day.

Come on guys. Let's give them one more chance. At least Erik is trying to keep us informed. Let's give 'em two more weeks. ....Then if we get ignored or lied to , then you'll have a right to get nasty.

I wasn't trying to be nasty, just having some fun with the naming, which I've been part of from time to time (and yes, I suck at it!).

Hmm, HCF, that acronym is already taken by the Harpoon 3 Access editor for distributing individual 'components' for import into other databases (Harpoon Component File�if I have it right).

Harpoon Classic Everlasting?� that's still HCE, probably safe

, well as safe as it can be sharing a paper game acronym (Harpoon Captain's Edition)

Is this soon to be released version of the game based on the old original Harpoon Classic `97 ?

Thanks
