After seeing the postings here I am sure that Harpoon is a game that I want. The question is if it is fast enough on the plus? Or will it just be annoyingly slow? +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Eric D.

I would not recommend it for those mavchines. I have an accelerated IIci at home and find that Harpoon's speed is 'appropriate' (you don't have to wait for mouse or keyboard input). However, in my Dad's SE, turning up the time pasing to 30:1 didn't even make a dent in the more complex scenarios (two fleets, raid on Northern Britain). Its a great game, but it needs to be optimized to be useful on 68000 machines. greg
