This is the first in a series of irregular updates covering the musical artists of the 27th and 28th centuries. Wing Commander has surprisingly detailed backstories for several different groups despite the fact that we never actually got to hear any of their music! In each update we'll first...

The research for one of our recent posts required that we determine what starbases appeared in Wing Commander Prophecy's simulator. Just one problem: there's no guide to the simulator missions online! We decided to create our own and have added a super detailed page for all ten missions to the...

Ah that's rad, I'll check it out!

I thought it would be fun to take a look at Wing Commander III's magnificent Warbirds 2669 poster with some 'behind the screens' notes where they came to me. Do you have fond memories of Warbirds, or anything else fun to note with the pages? Let us known on the forums! Warbirds is Wing...

The Wing Commander movie club has nothing to fear but Sphere itself! The general consensus is that while there's some material of interest in Sphere it doesn't really come together in the end… and it spends a lot of time not quite getting there! In the week before the screening, a lot of people...

Excellent find! And you end up getting your wish quicker than you expected.

We have terrible news to share today: veteran actor Tchéky Karyo passed away on Friday from cancer at age 72. Karyo was an extremely talented veteran Turkish and French actor who was known for crossing between roles in French cinema and Hollywood. Americans will know him in La Femme Nikita...

We recently posted about the Wing Commander material included in the Keyboard And Terminal Technology (KATT) Game Master Matt, which I was thrilled to see for the very first time. That was all thanks to LigMatrix who has done some truly incredible work preserving the history of this very odd...

The long-teased Creative Labs Sound Blaster Re:Imagine Kickstarter has launched (and already met its goal)! So what the heck is this thing? it's a physical 'hub' that you can reconfigure with different components including switches, sliders, dials and a tiny screen. It runs Linux and can operate...

We've been working on a more expansive atlas of the Wing Commander universe and part of that involves finding all the space stations we've seen throughout the series. I recently went through Wing Commanders Prophecy and Secret Ops and thought I'd share some of my notes here! Here are all the...

There's a contemporary claim that Ishtar is a movie that didn't deserve its reputation as one of the worst films of all time; that separated from time and temperament, it holds up as an entertaining film. Well: we have determined that this is not true. Ishtar is a bad movie and it's one whose...

Would be neat to backport the totally different (and often bigger!) 3DO missions to the PC version.

Last month, we reported that Creative Labs has been using Wing Commander in marketing for an upcoming crowd fund project which aims to... do something. Last night, they sent out a 'first look' email that is still fairly inscrutable. But what IS certain is that the Sound Blaster Re:Imagined...

Rad!! Now figure out Super Wing Commander :D

I'm not sure there is an official answer! But if I had to guess: Maniac Knight Hunter Angel Bossman Paladin Iceman Spirit

Verman has been experimenting with some technology to bring some of Feng Zhu's unused Privateer Online concept ships to life! They write: Pretty neat way to see what the game could've looked like! You can download a copy for yourself on Sketchfab. Here are the original designs by...

AD has come upon a pretty fascinating vintage article that had not been in our community consciousness. It's a preview of Origin's product lineup from the April 1991 issue of The One, an Amiga-focused computer outlet. It includes a very early description of Wing Commander II and some rendered...

This is a reminder that we have another fun #Wingnut event happening on Discord this morning! Join us at noon EST/9 AM PST for a fun filled morning of television... that all connect to Wing Commander somehow! We'll enjoy two episodes of MST3k that have deep connections to Wing Commander III...

This is a reminder that we have another fun #Wingnut movie night planned on Discord this evening! The ongoing theme will be movies that are referenced by Wing Commander in some way. Tonight's film is Ishtar (1987) and you can find details on why we're watching it in the announcement post here...

Gaijin did a Super Wing Commander Guide some years back! We should really do an updated one for the wiki, though. https://www.wcnews.com/news/2015/01/25/extensive-walkthrough-chronicles-super-wing-commander Most Wing Commander I guides will get you most of the way, though - the missions are the...
