    But then I came across this: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3086120/ Harpoon_Classic_97/


    Paint me yella and call me taxi!! Harpoon!!!! Woo-hoo! I still have my
    near 30 year old copy (Amiga) on the shelf. I had all the scenario
    disks, and every version that came out. None work on a modern pc, So
    this will be another I'll be waiting for., Now, if someone could do an upgrade for Fleet Command...

    Dont know if your interested...

    https://store.steampowered.com/app/3086120/Harpoon_Classic_97/ has been released (with no fanfare, I just went looking and found it for sale..)

    Harpoon Classic 97 on Steam $14.00 comes with all (4? 5?) Battlesets, so around 60 scenarios. started playing and got called away.. came back and
    I can hear an faint alarm.. NAS? UPS? motherboard? Wife even came down
    and asked what the alarm was... turns out the game was hidden behind a
    couple of desktop screens but still running... I was being attacked. :-)

    Starts with the first scenario in the GIUK battleset, kill that and you
    can select any of the scenarios, make changes to the game, etc... I just
    need to remember the keyboard....

    All in all, looks exactly like the original.
