    Why not GoG.com??

    Who do we have to petition / bribe / sleep with / rough up / beg in order to bring the Wing Commander games to http://gog.com. For those who don't know, GoG stands for Good Old Games - the site has low prices on classic games which you can directly download to your PC. The best part: every...

    Wing 1 and 2 mentioned

    I was gonna play WC1 with my USB 360 controller, haven't gotten around to it, but it was on my agenda. Gonna grab a high res shot for people to fill in later, but I'm interested in seeing other people's controller schemes. Also while I'm talking about where Wing Commander was mentioned, just...

    Wing Commander:The Kilrathi Saga

    LOAF is right. If it was sitting in your attic, start an ebay auction at $50 and let it go from there, it's pure profit! Nu

    Wing 1 and 2 mentioned

    Around the 48 minute mark of the latest episode (175) of "The Official Xbox Magazine Podcast (KOXM)" they began talking about the recent adventure games renaissance, and how much they would like to see Wing Commander 1 & 2 brought to Xbox Live Arcade. Co-Host Dan Amrich even mentions how...

    WCIV DVD Edition can't find movies?

    Installed patch 1.2 by Gulikoza - still get "error rendering video" error message. NStriker patch gives a "filesize mismatch" error. The freeware mpeg decoder doesn't install under my Windows 98 VM, claiming "bad command or file name" with the batch file trying to run a "regsvr32" command...

    WCIV DVD Edition can't find movies?

    BUMP... I'm just six years late, no big deal. ;) So a co-worker just showed up with a pair of "Wing Commander IV DVD Interactive" discs. Both of them still sealed (in their little taped-closed cardboard sleeves). I opened one up, popped it in, but after installing I instantly get the error...

    Raiders of the Lost Game (May 22, 2007)

    Went through a few other people's large collections of ROM dumps over the past few years, and atually was just going through a few "rare" files this week. WC2 for SNES is always something I look for, but has still not yet shown it's face. Frequently you will find a file called "Wing...

    Ooh, look what's on ebay!

    First, some original artwork: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230331424012 Second, an actual copy of Wing Commander for Sega CD. Not in original case and the manual is evidently a photo copy or a print out. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220377469968...

    Question about WC 4...

    Spend the least money: buy the 20GB model of the PS3 - it's fully hardware backwards compatible, and the hard drive can be upgraded to 200GB for less than $100!!! :) 60GB model is also fully backwards compatible (other differences: 20GB does not support Wifi network, and does not include...

    The Sum of Its Parts (December 15, 2008)

    p.s. - good job to LOAF on getting the high res. pictures - I know my website has a glitch that makes those full-resolution images hard to get to! (note that even the full resolution version is also a reduced resolution - I have full res 10.2 megapixel shots if someone really wants'em)...

    The Sum of Its Parts (December 15, 2008)

    Just thought I'd share. Yeah, came across that. Made me wish I never sold off my old WC collection (had'em all at one point, though my WC1 was never this nice!). My WC3 was the "Gold Edition" (the less expensive re-release, though it did include Victory Streak and the other goodies)...

    Making the Games: Source Code? (December 6, 2008)

    Ha... legal ramifications... you're talking to the guy who released the 3dfx driver source code. I just want to tinker. I tried using HTTrack to crawl the site and download a bunch of data, but I only ended up with 3MB of info, so I don't think it did a thorough job. ;) Still, I would...

    Making the Games: Source Code? (December 6, 2008)

    I echo those above. Any way we could get an ISO or even a Zip/RAR file of all of these goodies? We all know the CIC will have giga-quads of bandwidth left over at the end of the month anyway. ;) NuAngel

    Space Above and Beyond

    older footage Hi-Def Not true at all. The EXTREME majority of movies since the 70's were filmed in widescreen, and widescreen TV's weren't even common until the last 5 years. Depending on frames per second, aspect ratio, and film used, transferring to Hi-Def could be quite amazing. Film...

    My Xbox got the Red Ring of Death...

    Some people also opt to fix their own because their warranty is already expired. The Xbox has a 1 year warranty, 3 years for Red Rings. HOWEVER, once yours has been replaced/repaired for Red Ring, then you only get 1 year from the date of the "replacement" or "repaired" Xbox. If mine dies...

    Space Above and Beyond

    I'm totally going to eBay... who DOESN'T want a Hammerhead in their living room?? ;) Seeing as how you've gotten to the point where you are interested in novels and comics, I would imagine you already have the DVD box set - but I just wanted to remind you that it is out there, incase you've...

    Let's make an FAQ!

    Notice this? http://forums.xbox.com/11812198/ShowPost.aspx#11812198 Fan-made FAQ's and game guides for Xbox Live Arcade Games. These games are notorious for lacking documentation. To EA's defense, they did a fantastic job with all of the PDF's released for Wing Commander Arena. Still, a...

    My Xbox got the Red Ring of Death...

    It's all over! :( Damn shame. I've placed an order for my 360 coffin from Microsoft. I will mail it to them, and then hopefully I will get a fixed up 360, or perhaps one of the newer ones with the 65nm core, or HDMI or something... we can all hope. ;) But it looks like I will be out of...
