Without Wing Commander I wouldn't have my current job. Wouldn't have gone to college. Wouldn't have met a lot of people, one of which absolutely changed my life. Wouldn't be writing this post.

If you can hang in there for nine more years you'll have nuclear supercarriers, right? Besides, we've got your back.

Didn't Sony also cap the price of PS1/2 games at around $40? I would imagine they were trying to minimize overhead so they would actually make something off the sale.

Good hunting and Godspeed, Justin. Make us proud. It's a lot of weight and complexity for advantages over fixed-wing aircraft that have been negated with other technological advances. Plus, the typical mission role of the military has shifted. We don't need to worry about whether our...

I'd say thin up the vertical wings to half what they are right now. Rest looks great.

Disney also created a lot of war-time instructional videos and cartoons for the military, in addition to propaganda cartoons. Disney didn't make any money from any of it. Almost sunk him. It's also worth noting that other cartoon studios contributed similarly, but not at the scale Disney...

As I get older I find the title I'm most fond of, both in memory and in replay, is Privateer. It's just got a load of cargo in the hold, and a load of bills to pay at home.

I am extremely sorry that you have to watch through these things to find a Wing Commander nod. I'll give kudos to this 'angry internet person' for at least picking something horrific to bash on.

Fold the wings, stack 'em up, and shove them into racks under that nice, thick, useless flightdeck. Interesting thought: Carrier capacity usually considers a large portion of the fighters to be in the air on patrols and such. When we see an idle carrier, there's a lot of craft packed...

Regarding moving the guns to the wings to eliminate complicated synchronizers, there was another method where they would run the run barrel through the center of the prop. One thing worth mentioning is the outboard-style mounts boast some absolutely monstrous energy weapons. It seems that...

XP can indeed do it, but anything not defined as a path variable will break, which would be all the shortcuts and a few applications.

Welcome (back)! Original Privateer is my input. The Gemini Gold people have done bang up work, but I've always found the handling felt too different for my tastes. Congratulations on your purchase! I'm sure you'll have lots of fun setting it up. :D

It's a pain in the ass.

CD drive speed would have also been a bigger factor than CPU speed. Wasn't that back when 2x drives were still awesome?

I only did my tour of duty on the PC. The only PC game I don't have is Prophecy, but I did play the entire game at a friend's house.

It's a very nice collection. Did WC1 & 2 also include their expansions? (Two each) As time goes by it becomes rarer to find original boxes with all the innards and in such good condition. They've been out of print forever now. Can't give a guess on value. It depends on how badly someone...

Yeah I remember you. Welcome back.

Here's my take. 'Meatgrinder', a calm wingman who likes to play with his food. 1) "Not a thing to kill." 2) "Fresh meat!" 3) "Grinding it up." 4) "You want to share some of that?" 5) "Bravo ready to order." 6) "Need help with that?" 7) "Piece of shi--" 8) "Charlie ready." 9) "Too much game for...

What is this? The Terran Confederation is unified now? Will this affect the price of jump fuel?

My memory is terrible but I think Blair was out of action due to injuries.
