Emulation would be the only way though that's not strictly legal. Regardless, I don't think there's any question that the ROM should be dumped for preservation's sake, if and when a copy is found (especially if it's saved to an EEPROM). Anyway thanks for all of the info and the update on the...

I sat through the whole 11 hours of this when it was live and had a great afternoon of snacking and watching you guys play my favorite game of all time. I'm guessing you scrapped the plans for streaming the Special Ops packs? Anyway, looking forward to the Privateer storyline if you ever do it!

I liked Righteous Fire a lot more than the base game story. I appreciated the original game for its open-ended Elite style play but as was already mentioned it gets pretty repetitive after a few hours. More story was a really welcome addition, though I really do wish they would have added more...

I bought the DVDs last year but haven't gotten around to re-watching it. This is as good an excuse as any. There are of course moments in this show that are really cheesy Saturday Morning cartoon style stuff but not many, and there are several episodes with incredibly dark and mature themes...

This made my day, I love SF Debris. I hope he does WC4 next.

I was actually going to mention that but I left it out because I didn't want to sound like I was ragging on the game too much. It is really awkward that Tolwyn hates your guts again. There are ways of justifying it but it's still such a sharp turn for the character for no apparent reason.

2 and 4 have always been my favorites and it mostly has to do with the storytelling and particularly the character development which was at its peak in these two games. I can kind of understand what the RPS review was getting at with Wing Commander 3, there's an oppressive pessimism throughout...

I remember these from a few years ago when I randomly decided to search Deviant-Art for Wing Commander stuff. I loved them so much I saved them to my hard drive.

I've got to say I'm not a big fan of the Lego aesthetic and I did not expect these to be so beautiful when I clicked on the thread. They're absolutely amazing. Despite being Lego they look straight from the game.

Wing Commander 2 isn't just my favorite Wing Commander game, it's without hesitation my favorite game of all time. I really couldn't think of any other game that had such a profound effect on me. It was my first entry in the series as well and it was one of my first PC games. The graphics and...

There were other games that tried to do what Half-Life did before it did those things, but none nailed the immersive feeling the game provided in 1998 better. The game was an underdog, it flew under the radar and only got noticed on the strength of how fantastic it was. I actually recently...

Wing Commander isn't the only much lauded classic game on this list though it is one of the most eyebrow raising considering it's a genre defining title. I can only imagine whoever wrote this was doing so from a limited perspective, maybe someone who was a console gamer at the time. Their...

That's pretty much exactly how I feel about it. I'm not much of an online gamer but I'll give it a shot.

I'm not too sure about the capships either but the fighters are really awesome and design wise everything is really cool.

I was hesitant until late last year when it became clear that we were getting close to the Squadron 42 release. I figured that even if I only get Squadron 42 out of the deal it was worth the $30 I paid. I haven't mucked around much with the alpha stuff but what I have played with is really...

I think either Privateer for StarCitizen itself or like AD said, the immortal and iconic Wing Commander 1 box. You can't go wrong with that one. True story, I bought Privateer based on the promise of the box art itself, it made my imagination run wild. It was almost my first Wing Commander game...

Indeed. A failed Scim replacement isn't a bad speculation since Menesch was selling them prior to 2654 when he got caught. It fits in with speculation regarding like the Ferret which supposedly lost out to the Epee as the premier carrier light fighter of its time and ended up in a lot of ISS...

So I played through Privateer and Righteous Fire recently and it got me thinking about the Talon, a fighter so numerous in Gemini that you can't hit your afterburner without crashing into a few. It's mentioned that it was a Confederation fighter that proliferated due to illegal sales by...

Pretty cool! I hope they do some of the other boxes too, though WC3 is definitely one of the most iconic.

This. They're referring to two different things. A border world is exactly what it says on the tin, a world on the border of human inhabited space. The Union of Border Worlds on the other hand is a sovereign government that some systems joined and others didn't. That's different and more...
