GameSpot has posted a hands-on
preview of an early build of
EA Replay. It seems generally positive, but there's very little mention of Wing Commander:
Quote:
Some SNES emulation is also present with Ultima VII, Syndicate, and two Wing Commander games. These are pretty faithful versions, but unlike many of the Genesis games on the disc, most of these SNES games were originally PC games that were better on the PC. So you'll be getting the sort-of-crippled console versions of these games instead of the classics you might remember.
...The options and menus are in, however, and you'll be able to save your progress in any game at any time--which should get around some of the password entry hassles found in the original games--and select from either the original 4:3 aspect ratio or a stretched 16:9 view.
Look for some unlockable supplementary goodies to accompany the 14 classics found in Replay.
In addition to the games themselves, it appears that the package will include unlockable artwork for many, if not all, of the games in the collection...

They've also posted four "Official Movies," which add up to roughly half an hour of someone playing Road Rage and Syndicate. You can find those
here.
