I agree. I think a lot of people forget it was meant to be the first in an ongoing story that we unfortunately never got to see concluded. In that context I think it needs to be given a little leeway. My disappointment is less in the game itself and more in the fact that we never really got to...

This was the first version of the game I played and I remember not being thrilled with it even though I thoroughly enjoyed WC3 on the PlayStation even though I played that one on PC first. When eventually I got my hands on the PC version WC4 became one of my favorites though. I love MJR...

Bumping here since it seems like the most recent thread for this version of the game. I just finished it today for the first time and had a lot more fun than I expected since I thought it would be as rough as the SNES version. The game grinds to a halt when there's a load of stuff on screen...

I'm not the biggest fan of the film for various reasons but I'd love to see a director's cut.

He still has the movie rights as far as I know. I doubt he'd want to revisit it though, especially when he's got Star Citizen to push.

Honestly this is the group I belong to which is why I put forth the question as I have very little experience with the Star Citizen community. I have a ship but I've only mucked around with the alpha stuff for about and hour and I don't follow any of the news. It's something I look forward to...

This. Also what's probably an entirely different discussion, how do you think the news of a new Chris Roberts-less Wing Commander in the face of Star Citizen would go down not just among Wing Commander fans but the gaming community at large? It would be interesting.

I agree that if EA were to dip into the space sim genre again they'd be more likely to look towards X-Wing or TIE Figther as long as they hold the reigns to Star Wars. And I hope they do because that would be awesome. :p As for Star Citizen I'm not bothered that he never got the Wing Commander...

Thanks :), it was down earlier in the day but seems to be fine now.

Is there still a place to download the game? The website doesn't seem to be around anymore.

This is my favorite console version and not just for the voice overs. It's a pretty faithful re-creation of the game especially compared to the SNES version which couldn't handle multiple ships and just didn't have the same dog-fight feeling to it. I'm not a big fan of the new music but I get...

I almost want to cry that this isn't real

Been a few years since I've visited the CIC. I'll have to try and remember to stop in on Saturday.

Cool, I didn't think this would get featured here. I've been a member of Racketboy's forum for years now and I was the person who submitted Wing Commander for Together Retro. The choice was given a big thumbs up due to the multiple ports, availability and affordability not to mention its...

EDIT: Okay, I figured it out. The problem wasn't with Firekka 4. Secret Missions 2 judges your performance on earlier missions and the game was being finicky on counting my targeting of the Fralthi task force in Firekka 2. I had to replay that mission a few times until Halcyon finally decided I...

Sure it's not strictly a Wing Commander fan game or anything but it's clear where your inspiration lies and we're all for new games in the genre. Thanks for sharing and good luck, I'll definitely pick this game up when it's finished.

Turning up the cycles with ctrl+F12 when a lot of crap is on the screen making things chug can help alleviate some of that. You can turn it back down with ctrl+F11. GOG has it at 4000 cycles but it plays better for me at 5000.

The Vega Campaign never really gave me much trouble, but the Secret Missions packs can be absolute hell at times. My best advice is don't try to be a hero your first time through. There's no shame in completing your mission objectives and hitting your afterburners or attempting to maneuvering...

Sorry to necrobump this topic but I found it while searching for a solution to this same problem. Playing the GOG.com version of SM2 it seems no matter what I do the game inexplicably jumps from Firekka 4 straight to Charon 1. There's no rhyme or reason for it and it doesn't make any sense in...
