What is Harpoon Classic?
Harpoon Classic was the first computer Harpoon game. Although it lacks the sophistication of the newer Harpoon II and Harpoon 3 simulators, it was probably the world’s best naval game when it shipped from Three-Sixty back in December 1989. Three-Sixty continued selling and updating the product until early 1994 when the rights reverted back to Applied Computing Services Inc., the original developer and rights holder. Alliance Interactive licensed the code and rights from ACSI in mid 1994 and developed Harpoon Classic for Windows 3.1. In 1996, Alliance licensed Harpoon Classic ’97 to Interactive Magic, which developed the game further to Windows 95.
