    Episode III Trailer - 11/04/04

    The capital ship engagenment looked cool, and ya gotta like the group of Wookies ready to go off. The really good news is that I saw no Ewoks. ;)

    prophecy: gold

    Nope, it can't hurt, and you might get really, really, really lucky. However.....it has been my experience that trying to find 7 or 8 year old software in new condition from a retailer is problematic at best. Yes it happens, but it is the exception to the rule. I'd keep looking at eBay...

    Action figure name.

    My cousin's mother bought him practically every Star Wars figure/ship/playset they ever offered in the late 70s and early 80s. She even had a replica R2-D2 made for him one Christmas. They used a Safety-Clean barrel, a salad bowl, some 2X4s, and a heck of a lot of white paint and blue electrical...

    Prophecy

    I remember stumbling across Prophecy at a Computer City store in Orlando, not knowing that a new WC game had been released. I was pretty stoked and I bought it without hesitation. I hadn't played anything WC in probably 2 years or more. I lucked out and got the Gold version with no knowledge...

    Language used for Wing Commander Prophecy/Secret Ops source codes

    Gotta go along with this line of thinking. I don't like cheating, but I've used cheat codes in games before- only after I'd slowly realized and reluctantly admitted to myself that I was stuck or facing a task or mission that I simply couldn't complete. Similarly, I bought the hint book for Doom...

    prophecy: gold

    Have you looked at Half.com? I've found several older games/software titles there that I was unable to find elsewhere.

    Back to WC after 9 years!!!

    Welcome back. I took a loooong break from my favorite gaming series too, but I have acquired all of the games now that I didn't have back when, including KS. I'd recommend getting KS, even though it is expensive, if you want to minimize any headaches you'll have trying to get the originals to...

    X-Prize flight Monday

    I gotta say I think the whole thing is cool. Ground breaking? No. Foundation shaking? Nope. Revolutionary? Not really. However.....I like seeing private enterprise in action in this way. I don't like seeing space travel/exploration monopolized by and solely in the hands of the world's...

    Star Wars Trilogy DVD set

    Right, but does that one Stormtrooper in ANH still smack his head against the top of the door whilst trying to arrest Han, Obi-Wan, Luke and the droids? :D

    WC the movie

    Yeah, I'd really like to hear that one!

    Blair, Maverick?

    Well, yes and no. I don't know that eveyone new here feels like everything they've noticed in anything WC is unique, or that it's something that has never been discussed. Sure, we'll see some stuff repeated in new threads and posts, but I think it most often comes from another source...

    WC for Playstation

    I was amazed at the number of different platforms I found (mainly here in this forum) offering a WC product. Even if one had the funds to buy all of them I doubt time would allow for a complete playing of each game- unless you had a couple of years to spend. Then again, that might not be such a...

    Another Game?

    Oh Yeah? I dehydrate apple slices in my kitchen for snacks, and YOU can't have any..... :rolleyes:

    Who to vote for? (for US President)

    Clinton's actions during Vietnam were defended by the Left while he was in office. Now that he is out of office we are told it doesn't matter because he is no longer the issue- George Bush is President. These are the same people who crucify Bush and call him a coward for serving in the guard. I...

    WC for Playstation

    Well, I managed to snag one of those joysticks off of eBay for $17.26. So I guess I'll see in a week or so. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of love out there for the PS version of WC3. I bought it and WC4 to try something different. RedDuke your post was a little unclear, but were you...

    WC for Playstation

    Yeah, I know a standard or dual shock controller will work, but it isn't the best tool for the job. I'd use one if I had to, but I would prefer a joystick since, well, they are flight sims.....

    WC for Playstation

    I recently acquired WC3 & 4 for Playstation. I gave them both the obligatory introductory whirl and, not to my suprise, found the standard Playstation contoller to be lacking. I know this topic has been covered before, but a search of the forums didn't exactly answer my question: Is there a...

    Passing Wing Commander on to the next generation...

    Cool story RedDuke. I consider myself fortunate to have grown up during the "Golden Age" of arcade and PC gaming, and WC was a huge part of that for me. I wouldn't trade the experience. Sharing it with another just makes it that much more special. Today, as someone who works in a computer...

    NFL team picks for 2004

    Kansas City and Indy have an outside chance..... Minnesota, Carolina, and Green Bay are Dark Horses..... But in the end: New England vs Philly with New England taking it all.

    9/11/01 Remember where you were...

    The WTC attack was one of those things that folks of our generation(s) will always remember where they were or what they were doing when they first heard about what had happened- like when President Reagan was shot or when the shuttle Challenger exploded. I was asleep. The telephone rang but...
