Hm, I didn't know that EA Europe was so distant from the USA segment. I guess that would explain why the UK PSN store got all those neat Playstation One EA games like Magic Carpet, Populous, Fade to Black, and Syndicate Wars. There ain't no justice. I suppose it's time to send them a letter...

Supposedly Sony is putting all their PSP UMD games on the PSN store for download to prepare for their new handheld, the PSP Go. The UK store got a digital download version of EA Replay in January 2009. I don't think the title sold very well in the USA (last time I saw it for sale, it was...

I don't think this is going away just because of online complaining about it. Microsoft is running a business, and they're interested in making money. If their methodology determines that something is unpopular or unprofitable, all we can really do about it is vote with our wallets and buy what...

I can't speak for everyone, but I lurk here a lot and only come out when someone digs up the old WC corpse to rape it a little bit. WCA looks like a fun little online shooter, but it's far from the 21st century coming of Wing Commander. Where's our first-person space combat sim? WHY have these...

I *love* XBLA (check out my gamercard -- I've been buying most of these games), and this looks like a lot of fun -- kind of a combination of SubSpace, Arena, and NetTrek. I'll be all over it on day one. The game style is NOT Wing Commander at all, though, and for me that's a disappointment...

Awww ... that would have rocked! I'd love to have Wing Commander 2 on my GP2X!

Seems like one could make an "interactive movie" with multiple branching paths by getting clever with menus and alternate scenes. Anyone up for the challenge? I guess I could volunteer but I'm not sure I could do it!

Thanks for moving my bile to a separate bucket, mods. :)

Wing Commander was the first game I've ever played that came even close to the depth and visceral thrills of a space dogfight as seen in Star Wars. I didn't have a PC, and the Macintosh version was several years off ... but I managed to snag a cheap copy of the DOS version to play at the 386 I...

"4 megs" = 4 megabit - 512K, right? I'd love to get my hands on this. I wonder if the magazine folks actually played it, or if they just got a bunch of publicity stills? I really wouldn't put it past Gamepro circa 1995 to get a little creative with the facts. It seems like a prototype would...

Nice update! Your enthusiasm is infectious. I was on the fence about this (not nuts for the SNES port), but seeing all those old posters and box art made me a little misty for my long-ago young adulthood.

You know it's the Super Nintendo version, right? :) Thanks for the insight LOAF -- I admit I'm more of a classic game fan than a Wing Commander fan, so I've played most of the other games on this collection to death already. I really like WC and want to see it done right, and I think the...

The internet has Google and dictionary.com, but I will indulge you: General MIDI is nice and retro, and the SNES had an excellent sound chip for the time, but so much more is possible now. The PC versions of WC1 and 2 could work on the PSP platform with some porting work -- the analog...

Don't you want MORE than a warmed-over console port from 15 years ago? The PSP has the horsepower and storage space to run Wing Commander III, IV, or the 3D version of Prophecy, all with full motion video and proper symphonic sound. The SNES versions of Wing Commander could be done on the...

What does EA Replay mean to me? Unfortunately, I don't share the shining hope and optimism reflected here. It strikes me as a cynical cash-in. It's an emulation of a second-rate port, bundled with other intellectual property from the era that happened to be ready to go. It's not a...

Virtual PC costs real money. Has anyone tried running Privateer in Bochs? http://bochs.sourceforge.net/
