Kurt, who recently discovered a rare Wing Commander 2 FM Towns, was kind enough to snap us a new set of pictures showing what was inside the box! The FM Towns was a type of Japanese computer used in the 1990s, one of the first home systems to offer a CD-ROM. Many classic games were released as enhanced 'talkie' v ersions for the FM Towns, including various LucasArts adventures and Origin's own Ultima VI. Four Wing Commander ports are known to exist, including Wing Commander, The Secret Missions 1 & 2, Wing Commander 2 and Wing Commander Armada. You can find the original story here. -- Original update published on July 29, 2007
I like the cover art. Does any have a clue what that large ship is? I think it looks a little bit like a Clydesdale.
A Kilrathi carrier of some sorts - possibly a Fralthra drawn based entirely on the manual silhoutte... you can see a Jalkehi coming out of a flight deck underneath it if you look closely.
Does this version also have some enhancements like full speech or better graphics or is it pretty much the same than the old DOS version (with partial speech packs)?
