Huge Prophecy Spread in Old Korean Mag (April 22, 2016)

AD has come across a Korean blog that posts scans from old domestic gaming magazines. One post showcases a massive 18-page spread on Wing Commander: Prophecy from around April 1998. At first glance it appears to be a brief game guide or walkthrough, but the article concludes with a rating of 95%, so it could also be a review with a lot of background information thrown in. Maybe one of our Korean visitors could shed some light on the contents?

Wow! Will be seeing this on the front page soon.
I would love to read it. Hope someone here can partially translate it.
 
Wow. This is a brief review and game guides for WCP from April and May issues of the monthly game magazine called 'Gamepia' in 1998.
The article, except for a few paragraphs in page 1, provides you with informations of characters, storyline and notable tips for each missions. Page 1 talks about how WCP reflects Origin's efforts to come out of Chris Roberts' Wing Commander concept in making the game after he left (what this 'concept' means is never mentioned throughout the entire article, though), and focused on the aspects of sheer joy in space flight. It says despite the flaws in storytelling, WCP succeeds in offering the pleasure from combat actions in space. Red letters below the page mentions that players may experience a return to Windows 95 after rescuing Blair if the patch is not installed. 95% ratings on the last page doesn't say anything much different from what was written before.
