GamePro Reviews A Lost Wing Commander Game
Jonathan Stone sent in a review of one the very cool "lost" Wing Commander games that occasionally comes up in the lore. Wing Commander 2 for the Super Nintendo tops the list of ultra rare games that we'd love to get our hands on. Much like Prophecy DVD, it was fully developed back in the mid nineties but held up before release. It had nifty color comm vids and a streamlined "action" interface. The following scan is a full preview that GamePro conducted way back in May 1995.
Unlike previous Wing Commander games, lasers and shield recharge quickly so intermediate pilots should have no problem filling space with kitty litter. The nicely crafted controls also help pile up the feline fatalities. You can spin your ship 360 degrees on a dime.
Check out the full color Kilrathi on the VDU and the special turrent interface on the Broadsword.

Battlecruiser Millennium Released For Free
Derek Smart's BattleCruiser Millennium has been officially released as freeware. This game had it all, from fleet actions, to fighter combat, ground assaults and strategic modes. Unfortunately it was somewhat universally hailed as incredibly mediocre. It was somewhat clunky and difficult to learn how to play. The game had numerous patches to fix a variety of bugs. The official 3000AD website now lists a variety of mirrors from which you can download the full 230 meg game. Last year it looked like Smart wanted the Freespace license, but it appears that he's now working on an entirely new BattleCruiser game. Woohoo.
