    A Revised Discussion of the Kilrathi Language

    Hey, sorry if long overdue.. but could you translate "The blood of my enemies" Thrakhath probably sings this in the shower.

    Greetings, Starfighter (July 17, 2017)

    Back in the day this card was hailed for it's image quality.. but it did not match the framerate and "cheat visual quality" of the 3DFX, and it was a commercial failure.. I used to work at a computer retailer back then, and was building away unsold i740 retail cards in discount bundles back in...

    PCPLAY Reviews Wing Commander Prophecy (July 6, 2017)

    Co-op was one of the things I wanted as kid, twentysomething years ago, and while the technology was "just about" ready(Dialing into MS Gaming network worked, but it was expensive), we do have that technology today, and a high-speed bandwith that works globally. "Attempting" to view this from a...

    PCPLAY Reviews Wing Commander Prophecy (July 6, 2017)

    I looked into this and it was mentioned multiple times digging through the lancer's reactor, in posts from 2001, there also was another project by a community user but both project were last mentioned in 2004, and no version ever was released. Paul Hughes's version would have been based off the...

    PCPLAY Reviews Wing Commander Prophecy (July 6, 2017)

    It does(8 actually, and 16 in vs mode) and I spent some time fixing it and optimizing it on windows 10, and it looks(and sounds) better then Freespace open does today, I posted a video on it with restored and "upgraded" graphics in the topic "starlancer", the difference between playing solo is 3...

    PCPLAY Reviews Wing Commander Prophecy (July 6, 2017)

    I know this, thanks for the response :) .. but the co-op scenerio, in my opinion would have been a gamebreaker for me, as one of those who want more then just a deathmatch or battle royal.. Starlancer(who's mission editor was never released), and numerous other games, to this day, leave out...

    PCPLAY Reviews Wing Commander Prophecy (July 6, 2017)

    Is this not a preview? If WCP actually had the co-op they advertised here, I would have been playing this:https://www.wcnews.com/wcpedia/Original_PC_Trailer , with all the community enhancements, with my best buddy rightnow, and not Modified Starlancer or Freespace Open. Sorry if I might appear...

    This is Rank (July 5, 2017)

    Commodore was introduced after this was done?

    Sound Off (June 29, 2017)

    Used the GUS and GUS pnp for years as the alternative for not having a Roland available or on my budget, all wing commander titles work great with these cards either with native support(the titles after 1994) or via Mega-Em that came with it. And a PAS is SB compatible so it should not pose any...

    Gauging interest in a remaster

    Would the new engine be capable of handling multiplayer as in co-op?, or play deathmatch/gauntlets through a simulator (With something like boosting the enemy's numbers or increasing the difficulty for game balance)? This ofcourse would cause some difficulties with the cutscenes and the options...

    Starlancer

    Awesome, so now there is the possibility of replacing the capship textures... Sadly no mission editor, or replacing the nebulas(but they've already been improved vastly with DgVoodoo supporting the DirectX5 routines), but many thanks for the link to all the files... :D

    Starlancer

    Do you by any chance have the other editing tools backed up somewhere, the download links for SLedit from the lancer's reactor no longer work...

    Starlancer

    Been looking for it myself, but just about every link, or resouce is dead when it comes to the old starlancer community... Anyway, I never uploaded what the game looks like with the enhancements.. so I put this one up on Vimeo:

    Wonder Woman review

    Seen it, and indeed the bullet in the superman-ripoff-scene I was like "really??"? Same goes for the WW1 / WW2 mix-mash, and the movie felt very, very predictable to me. The one exception is the british guy being Ares, but the fact that the german guy was on drugs and had to use it to boost his...

    Wing Commander Saga Klavs Ship Pack

    I absolutely loved Saga, will try this out.. but.. Would there be any way to ever re-implement multiplayer back in Saga, or something of an import tool for the older games campaigns? I've asked thesame question to the guys who are building a new engine around X-wing.. I'm pretty sure I''m not...

    Leading Different Boxes (March 16, 2017)

    My WC prophecy definitely did not have sticky tape, but unsure if it was velcro, got rid of my bigbox collection a long time ago.. My privateer 2 was flapless, and the organizer with the CD's was unbranded and black. Early on release american import boxes were common here, they were easy to...

    Leading Different Boxes (March 16, 2017)

    In the Netherlands I purchased the US boxed version of the game on pretty much launch day. It was probably an early import. And yes, the prophecy box had the opening flap. They were never selling the add-ons(speeck packs, mission disks) seperatly from the shelves here, because they were...

    The MT-32 VS The Amiga

    There was no digital audio in WC1.. And even WC2 used digital audio only for speech.. And probably for the better, I don't think my sampled weapons would do the gameplay any good.. (On my 386sx I also turned them off for X-wing, since firing the guns or a passing fighter would "freeze" the game...

    WC for dummies, figured out how to change the aspect of Prophecy.

    My guess is the resolution was fixed at 640x480. You can try to use some tools provided by your videocard or monitor manufacturer to help "stretch" the game. In my experience it does not look good and I would opt for the black bars on the side.
