PC Format Reviews Wing Commander Prophecy (July 25, 2013)

[KrisV]

Pix's Origin Adventures has scanned and uploaded several Prophecy reviews from popular 1990s PC gaming magazines. The CIC will be sharing a number of them with you over the next week. We kick off with the March 1998 issue of PC Format. The tone of the review is very positive and the game is praised for the graphics engine and overall gameplay.








Astute readers will wonder what the (awesome) background imagery has to do with Prophecy. From 1995 onwards, a set of painted storyboards were used to pitch the Wing Commander Movie to movie studios and financiers. These storyboards are often mistakenly believed to be from Prophecy's filmshoot due to them being included on the Prophecy press kit CD's. You can see the full set here. Thanks to Pix's Origin Adventures for these great scans!

'A stunning new start for the series'

Ahh, what could have been

Shame the plot never got past SO. Hell, that's why many of us are here!

We decided to make our own.

EDIT:
Would have helped if the reviewer knew he could right click on targets in the nav map to select them. Just be sure to LOCK on a target before engaging the map, that way you keep it targeted (in case it's not in front). Helps a ton when needing to prioritize which bomber to attend to first.
