The basic gameplay is identical to a much earlier 1983 Japanese MSX computer game called Cannon Ball (also released in 1983 on the ZX Spectrum as Bubble Buster). It was the tenth game released for Capcom's CP System arcade hardware. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.Pang, originally released in Japan as Pomping World and known in North America as Buster Bros., is a 1989 action game released by Mitchell Corporation for arcades in 1989. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.įor printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.įor PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Otherwise, you can always wait for High Tide 2nd Ed. If you want a modern version, which some legacy devs actually created because no one else is making it, with features Harpoon can only dream of, it's called Command: Modern Operations, and it'll run you about $80 before adding the optional 3D rendering suite at another $70 and then any DLC at another $20-$3 a pop depending the size of the DLC at full retail.Ĭonsidering the detail of the data in the data annexes, I think it's well worth it as a system. Sure, if you want an outdated engine held together by duct tape and bubble gum. There is also news that a Chinese Navy annex is on the way, which will probably be similar to the USSR/Russia and US Navy book.Ī few posts about how "oh you can get Harpoon on PC for cheap with mods". It's mentioned there that there's going to be a "High Tide 2nd Edition", and as an owner of 1st edition, I can only imagine (pure speculation on my part) that this will be a more traditional "all in one" product which will include the rules, annexes, scenarios, and counters. This will also include content for other eras which are different rule sets, purchased separately but run very similarly. You can also purchase the Naval Sitrep products which will often include units and scenarios and other content you can plug directly into the system that seem to be released about. ![]() You can go to the website for the entire system (which with some system changes covers late 19th century to now in terms of naval warfare across a lot of products) here: They have a point, in that you're not buying a game at all, but into a system that you keep adding to over time. Some people are balking at this price point and that it's not a complete game. ![]() All told you can get all 5 for a little less than $100. Which right now cover the ships and aircraft of the USSR/Russia and the USA across 4 separate books. Like the rest of the products, after this, you have to purchase the Data Annexes which have the actual unit data separate. This is *just* the rules that cover the years on the cover. So to set some things straight that I see in the comments here.
