Play Harpoon Ii: Admiral’s Edition Online

Harpoon II: Admiral's Edition is a naval combat simulation released in 1996 for MS-DOS. Developed and published by Three-Sixty Pacific, Inc., it is a licensed title that presents real-time strategic warfare from a top-down perspective. The game is part of a long-running series focused on modern naval operations.

Players assume command of a naval task force, which can range from a small group of lightly armed ships to a full carrier strike group complete with aircraft. The primary objective is to achieve mission goals within various scenarios, which are often based on hypothetical conflicts between smaller nations rather than direct superpower confrontations. Gameplay involves tracking and managing multiple unit types, including surface vessels, submarines, and aircraft, while accounting for their weapon systems such as missiles and cannons. Progression occurs through a series of distinct battle sets, with the initial release featuring one set containing fifteen missions.

Operations unfold in real time, though players can adjust the simulation speed or pause to issue orders. The core systems require monitoring sensor contacts, coordinating attacks with different weapon platforms, and managing the logistics of a naval force over large maritime areas. This edition includes the original Harpoon II game along with seven additional battle sets, expanding the scope of available scenarios and strategic challenges.
