LOAF, AD and the team have been doing big and exciting things lately with Privateer 2. To further their research and project prep, we're holding a group watch-along of the "director's cut" footage posted by P2 director Steve Hilliker for the game's 25th anniversary. To join in, visit Discord...

Uhhh... we're Wing Commander fans. Taking good, classic source material and WTFing that into a movie is kind of our thing.

Check out this gorgeous render created by Alan Baker. It depicts two Hornet fighters tangling with a pair of Dralthi in an asteroid field. One of the Kilrathi fighters is deftly maneuvered right into the rocks, which results in quite an explosion. The setup reminds me of the Kilrathi Saga...

It's been a very long week, so we're hosting a hangout tonight on Discord! We'll be watching the Wing Commander Movie starting at 7 pm Pacific / 10 pm Eastern US time. Nothing fancy - just queue up your copy and we'll press play together. You don't even have to watch, if that's not your...

This is a reminder that we have another fun #Wingnut movie night planned on Discord this evening! The ongoing theme will be movies that inspired Wing Commander in some way. Tonight's film is Top Gun, which has been inspiring the series since the very first game. You can find details on that as...

Here's a couple of impressive videos that show off Howard Day's latest graphical wonders in Wing Leader. The first clip is a neat trick where the dashboard text translates from Kilrathi into English as you swap into the cockpit view. There are also some additional sparks and fire effects that...

Today we've got a different kind of video to share. PixelPusher Mailman is going page-by-page through a thirty year old copies of PC Games. I just like the concept of someone lovingly paging through a vintage magazine like this. There is a section in his latest issue on Wing Commander Armada...

It's been thirteen years since GOG.com started selling Wing Commander games. Over the years, they've added the entire primary DOS/Windows catalog, but some of the packages are starting to show their age. The last WC game to be added was Armada in November 2013, and there hasn't been a whole...

Today we're sharing a podcast that Mat Bradley-Tschirgi created and sent over way back in 2016. Look, it's been a rough eight years, and we're a little behind. Better late than never though, since this is a great episode that you should definitely check out. He's assembled a medley of tracks...

The WC4 fan remake is about the closest thing to that at the moment: https://wcrespace.com/

We know it's a rough day out there for lots of folks. As I mentioned earlier this week, sometimes a good old Wing Commander soundtrack can help transport you to a different place and time, so here's Orion2349's iconic Privateer recording on a Roland Sound Canvas. And if you still need some...

Today is the big quadrennial election day in the United States, so I wanted to reshare a magnificent article that LOAF put together a few years back on everything we know about how the human government functions in Wing Commander. The snippet below pertains to the role of the Confederation...

If you're like us, you may be experiencing exorbitant levels of anxiety at the moment. Fortunately, we noticed that Volt Silicon just posted a soothing AdLib / OPL2 recording of the Wing Commander 2 soundtrack. As one of my favorite games in the series, these iconic tunes always take me back...

The Wing Commander series has a long history of drawing on familiar people and places when it needs to create new names. Some can be pretty unique one-off jokes, references or combinations of things, so when we see something in external media that happens to overlap with WC, it always gives us...

Modern Vintage Gamer has done a wonderful retrospective on the original Wing Commander from the perspective of 2024. The channel has a huge reach and the video has been seen some 80,000 times in just its first day. Since a lot of these will be younger viewers, the clip provides some vital...

Origin composer George Oldziey reports that the choral recording that he conducted last week was a big success! Backers of the project's crowdfunding campaign can log in here to download and listen to a brief sample. Mr. Oldziey recently traveled to Salt Lake for an exciting session with the...

Good Old Games skipped Wing Commander in their recent fall sale, but they're now running a new Back to '00 Promo that cuts the price of the WC series in half. It's a funny link, because all of these games came out in the '90s, and the early 2000s were actually a really difficult time to run...

Earlier this week I neglected to mention that there was a huge accompanying article for the WC3 livestream. Maru Malandra has penned a thorough overview of the game in anticipation of its upcoming 30th anniversary. The article sets the stage for the rapidly evolving state of technology in the...
