That was a great vid. I love how you can save the log to a file for review later.

Is this the game that's had several names? I recognise the website from ages ago - but not the name of the game...

Glad to hear that Command is getting close.  Please tell me, that unlike NWAC, it does have a Save Game feature.

Cheers GR - that name rings a bell.

So is it just called Command now?

Seems like it might be a half decent contender to Harpoon?

We considered "TGFKARP" (as in TAFKAP) but it wasn't as catchy  :)

Yes, and also auto-save (every two minutes, so if the game is interrupted for whatever reason you can pick up from that) and also VCR-like recorder with full rewind and playback ability (i.e. go back in time and try again).

We think it's the best game in its class, and on release day we are confident you will agree and enjoy it.

Once we have more specifics we'll let everyone know. Probably not long, though.

Since it's being created by long-time Harpoon fans, it'll obviously be an improvement in every way.  ;)

It was Byzantium 1908, I think for a few hours in 2002 AD.

It's a flattering comparison, but we try to make our own path. If you're a Harpoon vet you'll see some familiar concepts, but also many new ideas or different implementations of the same goal.
