Microprose brings back Harpoon 97

And no, I dont mean the upcoming Sea Power.

Played that classic for years and still have it somewhere.

A refurbished re-release may result in a version offering more much needed stability. I played it on Amiga, too. Crashes were the norm, but were accepted, since it was so revolutionary.

Sea Power on Novembere 12th, I think that has the potential to be played an awesome lot. Armoured Brigade 2 three days later. VR Alien game in Decembre. And one or two other titles that escaped my mind right now. Quite some interesting winter gaming ahead.

On the other hand, two long announced tank sims promised for this year as well as two or three other Microprose titles promised and some others seem to be still long time away.

And Five Days in Fallujah will get its announced fireteam AI and thus much better SP experience in early Novembre. Thats the big one update I waited for when i bought it one year ago. Could become something really spectacular. The game is really nerve-wrecking, and merciless.

Yeah, I also had it for Amiga

Hallo Amigo...!

Great were those days...! The fascination! The enthusiasm...!

I'd regularly get wrong off the wife for staying up into the early hours some nights

I'd really like an updated "Across the Rhine"

After I played Sea Power, I wonder whether anyone still would be interested in Hartpoon?

My interest has dropped for sure. SP is good. Very.
