    Wing Commander in GBA ?

    If you showed me those screenshots and didn't tell me what they were from I would have said some WC game between WC2 & WC3 that was never finished. There are only so many ways to configure a cockpit, but between that and the look of the ships, if EA wanted to be pissy they could probably have a...

    A bit of self-critique

    Sort of like Bill Cosby. One of his jokes was that his mother was always sick and tired of the trouble he was getting into. One time, the joke goes, the following happened: Mother: I'm sick BC (interupting): And tired BOOM! Bill doesn't remember what happened the rest of that day :)

    I didn't know that

    There's actually good food to be had at the Smithsonian, at "The Commons." You have to be a Resident member (live within a cretain distance of DC) though, to get in. LOAF, I know your folks are (were?) north and west of me a little ways, so I'm not sure if your family could've been resident...

    Best WC game to date

    E-Bay. I just looked and saw several up for auction. This one is on CD. http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1312123062 This one is on 5.25" floppies (though not many folks still have that size drive) http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1311962366...

    Best WC game to date

    With the exception of New Coke. Oh wait, succesful wasn't in there. :p Sorry, the Balley's/Williams comment the other day knocked me into 80's nostalga mode.

    I didn't know that

    The chat boards on the washingotn post were entertianing. There seemed to be a split between those who had actually eaten the current food and thought anything was better and those who porbably have never eaten there, but think this is all some part of the evil globalization conspiracy...

    A bit of self-critique

    Isn't useless trivia redundant? :) Yeah I fit some of those, from time to time, but not all. I like to think I'm open to other ideas.

    I didn't know that

    [Topic Drift] Though to hear some of the new Smithsonian director's critics tell it, if you did have the money you could buy it. :rolleyes: I'm rather looking forward to the new food options. [/Topic Drift]

    Privateer. Just because of the replay value. Then WCIV for the story.

    Favorite WC Quote

    Not sure of the wording, but Maniac talking to Flint during WCIII and he doesn't realize Blair is behind him. Blair puts him in his place an pats him on the back. Maniac asks Flint if Blair does the same with her. Of course the best is the outtake of that scene where Maniac asks Flint, "Hey...

    What WC4 needed

    Well he flies with you a lot, and I assume you get a lot of kills on those missions so his kill pool is maybe shallow. :) The guide (using a scale of 1-5, with 1 being low and 5 being high) lists him as having a 3 for flying and a 4 for gunnery. The bio in the guide mentions he had very...

    Weapons

    Pendell, I was starting to think I was about the only one around here who actually liked the leech missles. When Leeches aren't an option I like the IR's. Of course some of the swamrer missles and other enhanced missles in WCP rank up there as well. On the guns side, I usally went with full...

    hmm... special edition?

    The latest figures I saw were for the US. It is currently 21st in box office receipts for the year. It brought in $78,620,000. I liked the movie, my wife hated it. She thought it was way too long and was in desperate need of an editor. As for AD's question, that was my take on it...

    Prophecy Demo

    I do. And for those of you who don't you can find it here. It's about 38 MB, so hopefully you have a fast connection or lots of patience. :) https://www.wcnews.com/files.shtml#wcp

    Signs that the midway is nearing the end of its 90 day warranty

    Re: 40 The Intrepid survived as well. Or if it didn't we didn't hear about it. I think it was ready for decomissiong, though. Actually I think it had been that way for years :)

    Interesting

    IIRC, I always had trouble with him ejecting when he was my wingman in IV.

    What's your favorite base of ops?

    RADAR stands for RAdio Detection And Ranging. I would guess that LADAR is LAser Detection And Ranging.
