Oh man, I'm sorry for yours and her loss. That's terrible. Whilst you have a rather loyal fanbase with AWC, real life is more important. Just stay hunkered down and look after each other, my thoughts are with you both.

'Imperial Wingmen' What a different game it would have been if we'd gone with the 'morally questionable' humanity right from the beginning, instead of waiting for Tolwyn to turn up and take us down that road later.

I'm sorry to hear about your friend. May I ask if they had any pre-existing conditions? Covid-19 has not yet infected anybody I know, although there are a number of cases in my area. That's scary about the nursing home deaths! I actually think the true number of people already infected is...

So, in these unprecedented times - how is everybody doing? Anybody in isolation? In my coutnry - The UK, the government has just announced the 'indefinite' closure of all bars, restaurants, cafes, gyms, leisure centres, theatres and cinemas in addition to calling for social distancing, an end...

I remember thinking EF2000 looked mindblowing graphically. Just checked it out on YouTube, not so much now 😁 Time ravages all. Agree with @Pedro - the 90s was a cracking time for PC gaming.

I was a massive LucasArts point and click fan in the old days, and in the late 90s and early 00s there was an a rather large and active community attempting a project that looks very similar to this one. 'Indiana Jones and The Fountain of Youth' I believe some progress with made, but as so...

Hello @Mincemeat - Welcome back That or your lurking game is strong and patient.

I agree, but I also think it's nice sometimes to not be at the centre of universe, where your actions absolutely define the outcome. Wing Commander was great at having the player feel every part the all-important hero and the war is won or lost on the missions you fly. But you know what was a...

I haven't played it for years, but its lack of freedom was a real let down. I remember thinking it was a true open-ender before I got it. The comedy lines save that game though.

LOL. I think you just accidentally created Wing Commander meme of the day.

Haha yes, just like Tachyon: The Fringe. The gameplay was excellent but I felt no immersion and I just didn't care about the lore or feel remotely connected to the story. I don't mean to run down the Star Wars games. I absolutely love XWA, but I still consider Wing Commander to be the top dog...

That's absolutely true. X-Wing borrowed heavily from Wing Commander but couldn't touch it in terms of gameplay satisfaction.

Hmm, I think the most iconic ones have already been covered above. To answer your question about the missions that 'stood out' to me the most, well, they're not especially famous missions but... - WC1: The name of the title immediately evokes the image of the Scimitar cockpit in my mind. When I...

I think @Pedro explains it quite nicely. The military has the somewhat distinct perk of free accommodation, usually with decent pension and healthcare schemes - these alone won't make you super rich, but if you're financially savvy they're a good starting point. Not quite the same, but my uncle...

A bit off topic but for the first time in my life, I probably won't be going to see a newly released Star Wars. I've no doubt Disney will make another SW trilogy over the next decade, all with different directors pulling the franchise in different directions, more characters I feel no...

Edit: (Redacted)

Oh I'm glad I'm not the only one. I had a trophy pic of the Tarsus at Delta Prime but I've lost it now. It's a total bitch to do but it's a fun achievement.

Maybe they're aware your WCIV remaster and will swoop in and ask you to do WC3 as well 😎 As a community we're doing a pretty good job of remasters ourselves. There's the promising WC1 sprite improvement pack, the potential of a WC1/WC2 remaster from @Howard Day using the RG:O engine, not to...

Y'know, Origin missed a trick in SO1 here. They should have still called it a corvette. Everybody hates the Crossbow because it's supposed to be cutting edge new tech, but really it's a warmed over Broadsword that doesn't do anything special. But if they'd kept it closer to corvette size...

Hmm, as you say, it's interesting. I wonder what the legalities are since the titles are for streaming and not download. You'd have thought EA would have something to say about it. Maybe they sought permission first. I've noticed that a number of older titles are available on that site, many...
