by Larry Bond

Advanced Gaming Systems Inc. (AGSI) is pleased to announce a special, Military Harpoon 3 PC licensing arrangement with the Australian Department of Defence (ADOD). On March 2, 2002 AGSI completed an arrangement to license the ADOD source code for Harpoon 3 PC product.

This license allows ADOD to use the Harpoon 3 code for educational and technical evaluation purposes.

Don Gilman, AGSI’s President, said, “We are pleased that the many years of effort put forth by the original Harpoon 2 programmers has been recognized not just by the players, but by military professionals in an official capacity.”

“This also says quite a lot about our the dedication of our players and how that lead to Jesse Spears’ work to create the Harpoon 3 product lines.”

“This actually continues the official use of the computer Harpoon family. The original Harpoon was considered an educational product by the US Naval Institute and was carried in their catalog for some years. It was also used at the Brazilian Naval War College. Harpoon 2 was used by the US Air Force Command and Staff College at Maxwell Air Force Base.”
