Yep, same here. I played Harpoon on my Amiga 500 for years.

Remember stories about a project to transfer the Harpoon system into
a 3D enviroment. Really looked forward to this, sadly the idea was stomped
long time ago for obvious reasons.

Harpoon on PC was pretty good too.
Even if they didn't go 3D and just updated the game it seems reasonable that they could have found a bunch of crazy people like us [:D] willing to play it without all the bells and whistles. Especially given the clients base they had.

Maybe it was too early.
I'm guessing that these kind of games appeal only to "mature" [;)] people. It takes a while in the IT to get a mature customer base, but I think we should be getting there.
I don't think my 10 year old will be playing FPS forever, hopefully one day he'll decide to use his brain too [;)] .... (don't tell anyone but I play Battlefield 2 online too [8|] [:-] [;)])

Noone will ever be able to prove there is the slightest correlation between
"WitP AE forum" and "mature". Period.

Whatever happened to Harpoon? Never reallymanaged to evolve.
Could have been modern time WitP
