Well, Crap. There goes my Christmas.

Stiletto can command my squadron any day.

heh... now, how about one that works in Windows?

...? There's an Armada for Windows? Or am I reading it wrong...?

... but might never? Multiplayer Wing Commander. I have yet to see it, so if it's out there, please point me to it. At this particular moment in time though, I'd also love to see people porting over the old DOS WC's into windows (including Armada) so people without DOS can enjoy them too...

I got mine 'cause I ended up with $125 in free money. I bought Pokemon Silver (weeee!). Can't wait for Prophecy GBA. It's been awhile since a new WC game has been released. Those screenshots are amazing too! Can't wait!

Recently, amongst my woes installing WC4 and getting it to work, I saw SPECIALx.TRE files on all six discs. Leaves me to wonder... what's in them? I've only ever played the game and such, so I don't know if they're accessible or what. Anyone know what's there?

Just fixed it, per se... downloaded and used the Win95 patch. It seems to work fine now, movies and all. If any other probs arise, I'll be sure to gripe about them all and let you guys know. :)

In the files section on wcnews.com you'll find an alternate joystick routine under the WC3 header. Try that.

yeah, that's great... now... back to the problem, maybe?

Although... I have noticed that since both the comps in our house have been reformatted, niether has the "BLASTER" environment table set in the autoexec.bat file... Tested on both comps in the house, btw. The second one was Win98SE with an S3 Virge chipset. The game worked fine in all aspects...

The entire system was reformatted just last week.

I'm not entirely sure what the problem with WC4 has been lately. I know it's the sound though, because there has been no problem with the movies or the gameplay. But it might be a possibility. When I first installed the game, the install program ran just fine until I saved the settings and...

My favorite movie is a tie between two. A Time To Kill and What Dreams May Come

Not in that case. Hawk asks Casey if he knows how his father died, and Casey says "Yeah, he was flying patrol in the B'Shriss system when the Kilrathi jumped him." That is what LOAF is referring to.

Darn you Wedge. Darn you to heck. So, did Iceman die during SM2, or did he die between games a la Tiger's Claw and Concordia?

Well he had kidney probs for years... it has been a matter of time since, I guess. But even so, it still managed to catch myself and everyone involved by surprise.

Oh yeah, I'm okay. Of course, there are some regrets, but those are the breaks. As per your question, he passed away from kidney failure.

Hawk tells Casey about Iceman's death in WCP. Apparently, Hawk stuck around long enough for Iceman to kick it, and then took off before the 'Claw was destroyed. As an aside, the opening of WC2 states that they were heading to K'Tithrak Mang. Yeesh. I've not played any of SM2, so I don't...

I prefer fighters to bombers... but if I were stuck flying one, I'd prefer it to turn more like the Devastator's inertial turning style, than the simply slow turns of the Longbow. Especially since a slow ship is a dead ship in WC4 can't escape missiles in a slow ship.
