I'm thinking of buying Harpoon, and wondered what you net.experts think of it. I gather it's a naval fleet simulation. How are the graphics? Is it color? I'd also like opinions on good games in general. They should be color, support Multifinder (at least run under it), and it would be great if they had stereo sound. Some I have and love: Crystal Quest, Mission Starlight, Vette!, Sky Shadow. I'm also thinking about Oids. Comments on that? Thanks in advance, Richard C.

Great color graphics. Check out Armor Alley. It is very challenging. It is probably my favorite game right now. How do you like Vette!? I have been thinking about buying it. * Origin: Twilight Clone: Macintosh Files - 301-946-8677 (1:109/421)

The graphics and sound are great. So far, I've been running the SledgeHammer vette in trainee mode (where you're immune from damage and traffic tickets). Adjusting the gravity to low and flying off one of the hills is a blast! I haven't actually been racing at all, just cruisin' around. Some improvements I'd like in the next version are some aerodynamic control over the vette when you get airborne (could be fun!), fender-mounted laser cannons to take care of the annoying traffic, and wheelspin! It amazes me that in a car so powerful there is no wheelspin when I nail the gas. Recommended. Tell me about Armor Alley, though. What's the scenario? Richard C.
