    Wing Commander at 25 (March 12, 2024)

    Firstly, I wanted to thank Ben for the heartfelt post - your dedication, passion, perseverance and love for Wing Commander has kept the spark alive in many fans, and I'm sure you had(and have) an influence on the industry. For most of us, WC would have been a fondly remembered fad from our...

    Confusing Carrier Confirmed! (December 8, 2022)

    Great story, Andreboll 👍 I think I had a Nimitz aerial shot in my boy's room too, but just magazine-page sized (and a F-14 Tomcat poster, and a Tomcat model - I was a lot into the "Final Countdown" movie). @LOAF: Love to see what you got!

    Exploring a Cockpit Artpiece Mystery (November 12, 2023)

    A bit late to the party - but the way it folds and the way the screen curves makes it look like the inside of a helmet-like device. Like a face mask / light shield for the Nintendo Virtual Boy?

    Get a Good Look at the Privateer Equipment (December 12, 2023)

    So what is the story behind frowny face? It might have been reported already, but I might have missed it..

    The silliest callsign

    I just realized that I started this almost two decades ago - and still visiting the site at least once a week. Time flies, like my cringeworthy nick 'supafly' that started all this. Nice to see it can be picked up almost seamlessly... My callsign has been "Ash" for years now, and "Jon" if a...

    Exploring Lt. Anderson’s Backstory (June 10, 2023)

    I like how these historical posts tend to go off on a tangent... Anderson appearing in the VDU was for me a cue to relax after an intense mission, a sense of being back in the territory of reason. He might not be as memorable as Radio Rollins, but professionally, he did a better job.

    System Shock Remake Released: The WC Connection (May 30, 2023)

    Always great to see such extensive research, thanks for that! Apart from that, the new System Shock is really neat, although I'm not far yet.

    Wing Loader (KS/WCDX) Loader & Voice Over Mod

    I just came across this by accident, never saw it before - hat off to you, sir! I will definitely try it. I'm sure Chris is waiting for a slow day, this is frontpage news :)

    Pining for the Quine (March 30, 2023)

    Privateer is still (and shamefully) my favorite game in the franchise. Thx for giving it the attention, and still discovering new stuff.

    New Privateer Ship Discovered at Perry! (March 16, 2023)

    All this needs now is a name. Really great find. That's what I love this site for - even after dozens of years, still new discoveries.

    AI Algorithm Enhances WC1 Characters (December 28, 2022)

    I keep dreaming that in the near future, you could run any old game into an AI emulator and get a completely new experience rendered in realtime. And then the gnarly nerd in me says, nah, 'twould spoil the experiences you had when playing it the first time. Nonetheless, I'm intrigued. Does...

    BREAKING NEWS: Restored Privateer 2 Footage Available (May 20, 2020)

    While I had the feeling that WC/Privateer is slowly drifting out of my life, this has been a great blast of nostalgia. Wonderful find, LOAF! Now should I go and reinstall my Darkening CD copy on one of the old rigs, or silently pray for @ODVS to break out the video enhancement kit and make the...

    Immersive Italian Retrospettiva with a Twist (November 28, 2018)

    Impressive and educational (considering my Italian is veeeeery rusty). The Galactica '78 scene-by-scene comparison is really funny - although I don't quite agree; that was a lot of work and deserves respect.

    Those Were the Days (April 28, 2017)

    Funny coincidence. That's exactly the article I read on my year abroad in MS, and decided to get the Privateer+RF+SpeechPack CD.

    The pandora is an awesome thing

    I'm in the Pyra preorder queue too - so let's see how well the Wing Commanders will run in that one. My guess: Exceptionally well.
