Howdy folks,
While in the process of packing roughly the six quadrillion books that serve as my furniture into boxes I found this old magazine:
The interesting thing is that this the June, 1995 issue of this magazine which means that the render is from March or earlier. The article inside has a few storyboards and some behind the screens photos from Wing Commander III... and it talks about how WCIV hasn't even been cast yet. What this all means is that it's the *first* ever image from Wing Commander IV (and of course it's not in the game itself).
As you can see, though, it's in pretty poor shape. I'm trying to source a new copy for archival purposes but I haven't come across anyone selling "Electronic Entertainment" back issues yet.
Can one of our skilled graphics people clean it up to present in a CIC update? Iron out the creases and whatever digital magic people do to such images?
