Status: offline 		I just bought the sim, and there are now 4 icons on my desktop. Which is the best one to start with for a beginner like me? (And why are there 4 icons instead of just one?)

a hearty welcome!

The icons represent different versions of computer Harpoon:

Harpoon 3.10 ANW Ultimate Edition
Harpoon 3.9.4 ANW
Harpoon 3.6.3

and

Harpoon Ultimate Commander´s Edition.

The first three base on Harpoon 2 with 3.6.3 being the oldest version and 3.10 the newest.

The Commander´s Edition Edition is the latest version of Harpoon Classic, with roots back to the first Computer Harpoon.

Thus there are two "families" of Computer Harpoon. Both have their fans and active communities.

I would recommend that you dig in the current ANW v 3.10 UE and in Commander´s Edition. Compare them and find your own favourite.

3.9.4 is 3.10 ´s predecessor and 3.6.3 is much older.

Hope that helps.

Watch this video to see the difference between the game versions:

Status: offline 		Personally I wouldn't click on any of those icons, crazy I know.  For HC (Harpoon Ultimate Commander's Edition)  go to your installation directory (by default C:\Matrix Games\HUCE) and run Winharp32.exe directly.

For the H3 (Harpoon 3, ANW, ...) go to the respective game directory (also under C:\Matrix Games by default) and run the H3Launch.exe program.
