If you do have the DOS version I'd suggest searching the Tech Forum for installation tips. They've got great help over there.

Agreed 100%. Sean Connery they ain't!

The girl I was dating at the time tried to get me into it too- Zilch, couldn't get excited about the series. I watched maybe 4 episodes. Voyager was next, having a woman captain and all that. Once I started with the "Penis Envy" jokes her efforts at getting me to watch sort of began to peter...

Right over your head, dude.

Yep, a dental implant actually. The movie is titled, "Real Genius," - a campy but admitedly fun film. I think it sort of launched Val Kilmer's career. I'd suggest seeing it at least once if anyone out there hasn't already..... ;)

Good laugh- thanks guys!

A truly nice job Major, congratulations. I finally got to see it today at work. My dial-up connection at home couldn't handle it!

I work in a public library and every day I hear our patrons talk about copying our software, our audio CDs, and our books on CD. In fact they love to come to the Circulation desk and tell us how many CDs they burned the previous evening- "public property," they like to say. I just laugh and...

Consider: I keep coming back to an almost unavoidable conclusion, that being that the addition of live actors into the creation and development of games has added a now expected dimension that in many ways has hurt gaming in the long run. Was it unavoidable? Probably, for live actors have now...

I've played around with it some. I bought it about a year ago in an attempt to find something close to WC. I've liked what I've seen so far and will finish it one day. It isn't bad, but it isn't WC either.

I should have been clearer in my last post- they were playing other titles on their consoles not WC, usually sports games like Joe Montana Football, EA Hockey, etc. None of us had a Sega CD either, just the standard cartridge model.

The 486DX2-50 I've got is a Packard Bell (ugh!), complete with 4X CD-ROM and a Sound Blaster! I got it for free because it had been in a flood- no kidding! I dried it out, replaced the CMOS battery, added 12MB RAM, and I have a great WC/Privateer/Aces of the Pacific/Strike Commander box- until...

I know exactly how you feel. I was one of the first guys in my group of friends to get a PC, the rest had consoles. I'd show them what WC was about and let them fly a few missions. They really liked it- thought it was way cool in fact, being on a PC with a joystick and all- but they always wound...

Oh, no. You're kidding, right? I can see I'm gonna have to warm up the 486..... :D

I'm older than most of you guys, so my perspective on WC is a little different. I remember walking into a software store in 1991 with my cousin (I think it was a Babbages) and seeing Wing Commander on the shelf in all of its 3.5" glory. I was really, really new to PC games, and kind of skeptical...

I saw a trailer/clip from it this morning- lots of eye candy, but I didn't think it was all that great.....

Question: Just curious- Why the Eisen and not the Tiger's Claw? Has this been done before?

If you choose to eject (in WC1) you'll find yourself in Halcyon's office getting a thorough dressing down for the cost associated with losing a Confed fighter. I'm nearly positive that in all cases your action up until the ejection is saved, but unless you've completed the mission's objectives...

Use your radio (C key) to communicate with the Tiger's Claw. After depressing the "C" key once you'll need to choose the option for "Tiger's Claw", then the option for "request landing." Remember to have the Tiger's Claw "targeted" (T key) before trying to communicate with the ship. It isn't...
