Unfortunately, that type of situation is when the Drakhri generally -do- come a-callin'. :D

You know what's even worse? The final mission of SO1 where you gotta fight two AMG firing Fralthra at once. That mission made me give up in frustration the first time I played SO1 - I didn't actually complete it until last May. :cool:

StarLancer is an enjoyable game, you'll probably like it. It's not Wing Commander quality by any stretch of the imagination though, and the blatant Cold War era "Evil Russian/Chinese/Middle Easterners" stereotype gets annoying, even though I think it's intentional. And I never did get around to...

Well, I always felt that WC2 skimped on the briefings and funerals - compared to WC1. It seemed like Angel always rushed right through them.

As far as I'm concerned the original Wing Commander is the only game that DOESN'T have fluffer briefings. I don't know why more games don't try to emulate the briefing/funerals/ceremonies of the original Wing Commander. The best you'll ever see is some lame 5 second cutscene of your nameless...

Yep. Pong is definately no Citizen Kane.

What? Scramble mission? Did I miss something during my numerous Standoff playthroughs? When was their a scramble mission! Dangit, now I have to go back and play again... it was because you let the Krants go didn't you? I bet that's what it is. *goes to play Standoff and let the Krants ecape*

Actually that's how I got through SM2. Remember those insanely hard missions when you take on Kat fleets with a Hornet? They're not actually even that hard. All you're required to do most of the time is get reconaissance! So I would just burn through to the objective, get close enough, and then...

So... Wing Commander II is the 'Citizen Kane' of gaming? ;) I can see that. Both absolutely revolutionized their respective mediums.

Instead of studying, my friends and I were pondering the finer points of video game history today at college and talking about the revolutionary games. Someone mentioned Wing Commander and how, especially 3 and 4, is what helped along lots of other story/cutscene driven games nowadays (he...

It depends. If you're talking a film that's entirely CGI or has CGI elements mixed in then it would be -far- more expensive than a traditional animated film. Personally, I think either way would be neat. For the time being the most likely option would be an animated film (no CGI) since nobody is...

How do I do that though? Every time (except once) that I've tried copying the files onto the hard drive I've gotten an error message (the same as the one in the pic I posted). Though I do have a WC4 folder there regardless, so maybe they copied regardless of the error message. Isn't there a way...

I can't install this WC4 with Windows though. Everytime I try it without DosBox it freezes up and won't let me do anything. DosBox is the only way I've had any success with it at all.

Hey guys, I'm trying to get WC4 (6 CD version) working through DosBox. Here's where I'm at. I can get WC4 working almost perfectly in DOS, including the flight sequences. The only downside I've noticed is that during the choices (i.e. "Ain't My Business" or "This Pisses Me Off") Blair's voice is...

Edit by Eder: *Spoiler Warning* :p Well? Can I? He's a slippery little devil ;) . I actually managed to land a few hits but he ran off quick after that and next I saw he miraculously was a few thousand klicks away. I've been trying to memorize his decloaking positions in hopes of landing a good...

EDIT Okay, I've got WC4 installed. Used DosBox to do it. It runs but the video playback is laggy as all hell and the sound is choppy. Do I just increase the cycles on Dosbox (it's already at 60,000!) or is there something else I can do? Also, I can't get back -in- to Wing Commander 4 after...

I have the 6 CD version. I think it's for Windows 95 but I'm not sure. Here's what happened. i tried installing it through DosBox using the instructions on tech support. That gave me the error I mentioned earlier. THEN I tried going into the cd itself and clicking "setup" and that took me to the...

First of all... WHOO I JUST GOT WC4! I AM THE GREATEST PERSON OF ALL TIME!!! *clears throat* Now that that's out of the way, I'm hoping someone can point me to where I can find a guide for installing the game correclty along with the WC4 patch? I don't know how to do either of those...

Wing Commander 2 is the prettiest game of the entire series in my opinon and WC1 isn't far behind. Hence I don't share your opinion at all.

Maniac was always the hotdog. That aspect of his personality never changed. He became a depressed loner on the Tiger's Claw because of stress during the Goddard Campaign (I believe that's the campaign it was). He basically broke down from combat exhaustion and had to be pulled off of the line...
