"I'm now kind of stuck on the mission where you try to take back the Federation base by blowing up the canisters." -- Take your time with the mission. Fight guys before blowing up the canisters, until you are swarmed.

I haven't played Star Trek Armada. As for Legacy, it is a short game. Maybe 10-12 hours of game play. You MAY be better off renting it. 1 or 2 really challenging missions. The rest were pretty easy for me (not for my wife though). It is basically Wing Commander type missions (shorter...

"I was actually going to buy the Star Trek: Legacy X-Box theme" -- Legacy was pretty good. The major complaint is ship movement/targeting. The ships improve throughout the game and this becomes less of an issue. The initial ship is garbage. It turns so slowly. It makes you say: "I hope...

"No, it doesn't become gray at all. There's only one Mona Lisa, so it's ok if we steal it because it's impossible to purchase! It doesn't matter if it's hard to find, if they haven't very explicitly made it publicly available then you're breaking the law." -- Outstanding debate. Great Point...

"Electronic Arts continues to own the rights to Strike Commander, and in all likelyhood will for many, many years." -- Correct. 95 year copyright. We'll be dead before it expires. Note: I don't endorse breaking copyright laws. ********* "The term "abandonware" is bullshit coined by people...

"especially around here." -- Explain Further. ************ "toy encyclopedia" -- What is a toy encyclopedia? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reliability_of_Wikipedia "At this point in time, a variety of studies to date have tended to suggest that the science entries of Wikipedia are of a...

The term isn't recognized legally... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abandonware

My rant is over. I will try to be more positive in the future. WC2... it was one of the very first games to use talking. Strike Commander was one of the very first CD games. WC3/4 ... one of these used a 3d video card. If you had an S3 video card... the game supported "Translucent...

I remember the days of super big and expensive joysticks that used to work with Wing Commander and other games. I never did own one of these. I bet it would be neat playing a Wing Commander game with a 360 joystick. So many buttons and 2 sticks, etc...

I didn't realize that this game is now termed "AbandonWare" and it is a free to download at the link above. Apparently you need "Dosbox" to run it. I believe the game was delayed 2 years.

This game was a lot of fun. It was delayed a very long time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strike_Commander

I thought I would state some of the differences I saw in the trailer: Cons: 1. Cartoonish graphics (not seen since WC2). (I hated Zelda WindaWaker) 2. No vertical movements like a plane. 3. Tiny ships...

As stated, I wouldn't mind paying for a quad-core, DX-10 system to play a new wing commander. A 360 version is fine too. I read the book (it was the only book I ever read in life for pleasure). I liked it. I liked the movie. I liked Privateer. I bought WC1-5. And Special Ops, etc...

I heard the news yesterday about a new Wing Commander game... and it made my day. I was thinking I'll buy this game the day it comes out and buy Xbox Live Gold. ************** Then I looked at a trailer on IGN and I got really mad. This game looks like Zaxxon, or 1942, or Gradius. It is...
