Gee, thanks for the unsolicited plug! Now if I would ever get around to finishing that redesign on the site...

Win95 and Win98 don't really have a "pure" DOS either, but a stripped-down version for backwards compatibility mode. WinMe has much the same thing, it's just more difficult to get into it. And FWIW, WinMe is considered part of the Win9x line. That said... WCIII will install and run...

Heck, just picture it in terms of a football field. The Dragon/Lance is fully HALF a football field. That's big. :)

Sheesh! That's a rather...um...condescending remark. There's absolutely nothing wrong with purchasing a computer. Keep in mind that many of the better companies (such as Dell) allow for so much customization that you are for all intents and purposes building your own -- they're just spending the...

Looking strictly at the mainstream games... WCI: Raptor. Decent speed and handling, immense weapons loadout for the era. WCII: None. That's right, none. There's not a one ship that really stands out IMO. WCIII: Thunderbolt. As with the Raptor, I prefer heavy gun armament, and the...

While Firebird is correct in terms of the real world, the significant changes can also be explained through the expanded storyline of the novels. The events of END RUN showed that the Kilrathi were strapped due to the quick strike attacks on their commerce lines and manufacturing areas. And...

The scrit you refer to can be found here: http://www.wc-aces.com/wcpss/title.htm It is NOT, as you mention, the true original script, but it IS a fun read nonetheless.

Then of course, there's the one with Madonna, who gets roughed up pretty good by Owen... :)

Yep. Piper walks into a bank wearing his special sunglasses that allow him to see the aliens for who they really are. He looks around and says, "I"m here to chew bubble gum...and kick some ass. And I'm alllllllllll out of bubble gum." Very cheesy/campy movie that doesn't take itself seriously...

So, by your definition, we've really only had ONE Wing Commander game, and all successive games have been add-ons. :) This has been debated to death in the past -- several times -- and the consensus matches with Origin's intentions: WCSO is NOT an add-on to WCP.

Does the MIDWAY have the Plasma cannon available?

No. The actual location is Pearl Harbor, Hawaii -- a proper noun denoting a specific place . Therefore, when referring to that place or the event for which it is perhaps best-known, the proper spelling is without the 'u'. Now, when referring to the geographical concept of a harbor in general...

Re: Re: VDU to you, too Thanks for the info, KW! But tell me, where ar ethe MAT files? I can't seem to find them in the game directories or on THomas' (excellent) site.

One down! Many thanks!

Greetings, all! Coming to you with a favor to ask. I am developing a new Web site, in which I will be using the VDU silhouettes of the various ships from WCP and WCSO, like this: http://www.interimag.com/testing/tf16/images/1200_excalibur.gif I have been able to capture and recreate clean...

Depends entirely on what exactly you hold most dear in this kind of game. As for me... Flight engine: WCP/WCSO Nostalgia: WCI Cutscene Quality: WCII and WCIV Acting: WCIV Character Dev: WCIII Best mix of flight/story: WCIII Plot: WCIV Execution: WCIII (And no, these are NOT the...

(While discussing the arrival of the Excalibur...) Rachel: Well, that Excalibur is one Hell of a ship. But as I expected, there's a real dick at the end of the leash. Blair: What? He won't let you do your job? Rachel: These loving hands? I can tweak anything and make it run a little...

Yes, quite. You can see both is you download Mario Brito's movie viewer (available from the CIC).

Or the ARGO, even. :)
