Personally, I really enjoy the fact that the game punished players for making the wrong moral choice by siding with a conspiracy by Outer Space Nazis. In an age where anti-heroes aren't dark enough and Superman breaks people's necks, the idea that "No, there IS a moral certainty" is pretty damn...

People are stupid and make wild claims on the internet. This is nothing new. TVTropes is the horrible culmination / nexus of the modern internet. "Oh I found this slight logical error, its obvious they're trying to destroy these things I love" and "Oh look a minor cliche, everything about this...

Can you explain what the problem was with the music bug? It drove me nuts and made me give up on at least one KS playthrough

FYI, for the sake of history, I did not make the album cover that George posted. My good friend (and fellow WC fan) Mike Joffe made it on the fly, after I told him I didn't know what the album art would look like. I just passed it on to the proper parties. That said, the album is truly terrific...

Theres nothing to show. (It has a cloaking device)

This is the best story. Just ... don't drop the Flashpack, okay?

Bearer of bad news, Wingnuts. One of the best of our best has passed on. Larry Latham was the producer on Wing Commander Academy, the 1996 cartoon series on USA Network that I'm sure we're all familiar with. Despite working a lifetime in animation it was one of his few Producer credits. I...

Happy birthday to my all-time favorite PC game.

This is tricky to answer. On one hand, I believe there is a law stating liquor cannot be sent between state lines (if I remember correctly, the law gives a BS reason when, in fact, its a "corporate entity" thing - company contracts and distribution rights and all that.) However, I don't know...

I do not care about the cinema release. I want to know when it'll hit the internet.

IMDB runs on a set of rules very similar to Wikipedia: people are allowed to add to it and its then "peer reviewed". This explains why there was that "new Wing Commander movie" profile in there a few months back. However, yes, LOAF is appropriately credited ;)

Maybe its me but I never much liked the whole "anime" style carry over. The bleed-through started on Prophecy (particularly the Wasp with its huge missile pods) and it just seemed like too big of a jump from the WC3/4 designs. Even going back the transition from WC2 to 3 was much less in terms...

Well, Ludlum wrote his Bourne series in the 1980s... And then there was The Manchurian Candidate...

Ha! I just picked this up on Playstation for $4 a week ago. The controls with the gamepad are AWFUL.

Magnificent. Cannot wait to hear the finished result!

Oh it wasn't anything so important, and the CIC already posted it for their birthday this year. https://www.wcnews.com/news/2014/08/17/taped-radio-interview-with-mark-hamill-resurfaces

WC is pretty obvious in where its influences come from. I'm a huge, huge fan of The Last Starfighter but never made the connection until someone on this board pointed it out. Funny how things work out like that.

I learned a lot about DOS and batch files and how to write (minimal) code solely because of this one thing. I'm happy I don't have to fine tune boot discs anymore (I remember having to tweak Armada A LOT for some reason?) but I do miss those days.

I never put much stock in these lists. Without fail, most games I enjoyed are overlooked or given poorer ratings against games that have no place on such a list. Perfect example: how many times does Halo make the ten best console games of all time? Ugh. Meanwhile, I made some good friends...

More than likely its a spec script - something like 10 pages, just to sell the project. (Then again, for all I know, its the size of John Milius's unproduced Genghis Khan epic.)
