I just met another hopeless geek and that worked out for me.

I agree with this wholeheartedly. Put us on a different ship during the Vega Campaign. Maybe there can be Starlancer style news reports that can include some talk about the Tiger's Claw to tie things together. The Wing Commander story can be expanded infinitely in any direction. Blair's story...

I liked elements of all three opinions. They're not super-fans so you can't expect them to get every detail right. I think the first guy especially understands what Wing Commander is all about though. The other two offered some interesting gameplay elements we could possibly see in a future sequel.

Hmmm... I thought this was only something that happened with WC2. Well you could try some other -loadfix numbers if you haven't already. -loadfix 16 works for my WC2 for example. Besides that I'm not completely sure what the problem is other than that. Good luck.

I never cared for the Virtual Console, but that's mainly because I already collect retro video games. The only thing that I really liked is I always wanted to play Sin and Punishment. If they used it to release more games like this that never made it to the West but have generated interest, or...

FMV seems to be making a small come back lately. I find that to be at least a little encouraging. Wing Commander is synonymous with FMV game to a lot of people. Everything with a surviving fan base (and some things without) gets remade sooner or later.

It's better than being completely forgotten. Sure anybody can make a generic blog and wax nostalgic about Wing Commander but isn't it a good sign that people bother to do so?

Me thinks you take things a bit too seriously.

Don't have to tell me twice. Exosquad was one of my favorite Saturday morning cartoons.

Oh wow, great advice. I've had the same problem and though it's tolerable I'd rather it not happen. Going to have to try this.

I know the history, I was just trying to make a poorly thought-out joke.

Hah... it seemed like cartridges would be with us forever, yeah. Even Nintendo thought so.

The expansive universe doesn't hurt either. Like any well developed sci-fi universe it's something you just find yourself getting swept up in.

Arrrrgggghhh the AMG Fralthras. Infuriating. Ghorah Khar 2-D is the hardest mission in any Wing Commander game in my personal opinion. And it's the only one in the main series that I've never beaten. No matter what I try I either get toasted or run out of torpedoes. 2-E usually takes me a...

Yeah, but the Excelsior love didn't happen until AFTER Star Trek IV. Before then you might remember the quote... Sulu: She's supposed to have transwarp drive. Scotty: Aye, and if my grandmother had wheels, she'd be a wagon! Take a look around the net and you'll find hundreds if not thousands...

There's a few bits in the book besides the missions you can't really attribute to LaFong without him being Blair though, like the start of Wing Commander 2 off the top of my head since what happens to him is basically the exact same thing that happens to Blair. So it's not that clear cut. I'm...

A man who gave me thrills as one of the greatest sci-fi villains ever and laughs as Freakazoid's nemesis Gutierrez. Along with his beautiful, beautiful voice he will be extremely missed.

But I can't be Kyle Katarn in Academy. I like the writing better in Outcast too.

I might be wrong about this but SM 1 and 2 were only floppy to my knowledge except for when they were packed together on the Deluxe Edition CD.

Dark Forces was the only EU material I could ever get into too. Kyle Katarn is undeniably the most bad ass Jedi ever. If it were up to me Star Wars would be following around his adventures, or we'd at least have another Jedi Knight game. But it's not up to me so... Damn... re-installing Jedi...
