I just watched a friend play Harpoon for a little while and I was pretty disappointed. When I saw it months ago on a PC with the separate non-movable windows I figured the Mac version would allow you to move things around and enlarge windows... Am I wrong and you really can detach stuff from the main window? Does this bug anyone else? From the quick look that I had it seems like it runs just like on the PC. Is there a newer version that will support color coming out? How do people like the gameplay? Eric Snider es1o@andrew.cmu.edu

There is colour support (or at least I was given a card when I purchased the allowing me to upgrade to colour for only $15) The game plays very well. You tend to end up having to control an awful lot of things at once and a small error/oversight can have dire consequences -- sure keeps you on your toes. I don't know how well the computer actually handles its units, but it isn't going to make any oversights due to being tired etc ;-) Pauli seeya Paul Dale | Internet/CSnet: grue@cs.uq.oz.au Dept of Computer Science| Bitnet: grue%cs.uq.oz.au@uunet.uu.net Uni of Qld | JANET: grue%cs.uq.oz.au@uk.ac.ukc Australia, 4072 | EAN: grue@cs.uq.oz | UUCP: uunet!munnari!cs.uq.oz!grue f4e6g4Qh4++ | JUNET: grue@cs.uq.oz.au --
