I played a PC game in the early to mid 2000s, though I think the game was a little old at the time I played it. I cannot remember its name.
But it was like unto a Wing Commander game, if it was not in fact one. I can't remember a lot of details. I've looked at screen shots from the various Wing Commander games, and none of them match my memory. Here's a few things I recall:
1) I'm pretty sure your character lived on a space aircraft carrier similar to the Tiger's Claw. You got promotions and medals and stuff like in the Wing Commander games.
2) I think the game took place mostly or entirely in the Solar system. I think it was about a war between human nations that took place in space.
3) It may have been a Wing Commander prequel, or otherwise set in the same universe as Wing Commander at an earlier date.
4) When your character ejected, he was sometimes captured by the enemy. When that happened, you got a game over cut scene from your character's first person viewpoint as he awoke in an enemy torture chamber, looking around at torture implements arrayed around him. It was a pretty effective scene in terms of the creepy factor.
I know this is pretty vague. But if this sounds like a game anyone recognizes, please let me know. I'd kind of like to play it again if I can find it.
Thanks in advance for any help.
