Larry Bond’s Harpoon Commander’s Edition is the current generation of the original Harpoon computerization of Bond’s game, which was first published in 1989 by Three Sixty Pacific.
This was the first software ever sold as a professional education product by the U.S. Naval Institute.
During the long development from Harpoon Classic 2002 Gold until now — the project had some other “code” names — none of those products ever shipped. Many were available in timed out beta form only.
