A real measure of the last time it was updated, is the fact the game page is exactly as it was maybe 6 years ago?
It does not even list UV nor WITP, and gives its' highest ratings to SSI's "Pacific War" and Microproses' TF1942.
(Both of these firms have been defunct for years.)
BTW, IMHO, TF1942 was the best 1st person Naval surface game ever created.....[8D](I always felt like John Wayne in the film "In Harms Way"..

Task Force, 1942, by Microprose. A ship-to-ship tactical simulation of the fighting around Guadalcanal, with a strategic engine slapped on top of it. Entertaining in the tactical mode, but the strategic mode is kind of hokey, because it really doesn't encompass enough of the elements of the actual Guadalcanal campaign (plus, it's ludicrously easy to win on either side of the ball). Pet Peeve about this game: ships sustaining any sort of moderate damage in the tactical module are recalled home for repairs and never, ever return. What's the good of a repair yard if you can't get the ships back into the fight sometime? Contains a scenario editor for creating encounters between squadrons of your choosing, which is a good thing (I'm particularly fond of the Yamato vs. a single U.S.Fletcher-class. Short, but exciting.)
