    Wing Commander Music Kickstarter Enters Final Week (March 15, 2014)

    I checked and Kickstarter does allow Amazon, but Amazon only appears to allow credit cards for this transaction. Two ideas: - Go to a retail store (Wal-Mart, for example, or a drug store like KMart or CVS) and buy a prepaid debit-type card that can act as a credit card. This might be simplest...

    Wing Commander Music Kickstarter Enters Final Week (March 15, 2014)

    I really hope we make it and can raise enough for this to go through - I know it would be very enjoyable.

    Wing Commander III "When Harry Met Sally" Audio Goof Location?

    True re not that noticeable. I'm kind of surprised George picked up on it after the fact. He should make another pledge goal to find out where that scene is. ^.^

    Wing Commander III "When Harry Met Sally" Audio Goof Location?

    Yeah - I'm thinking it's got to be pretty subtle... And George's stories are amazing! =) I'm really enjoying hearing about the development. You never really picture people in a successful project like this (as you play it) feeling like fish out of water or being brand new to something...

    Wing Commander III "When Harry Met Sally" Audio Goof Location?

    Hey all, George Oldziey's WC3 Wing Commander Orchestral Music Kickstarter had a really entertaining story about a scene in Wing Commander 3 that has some inadvertent audio in it. See: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1373816047/wing-commander-music-orchestral-recording-project/posts/761078...

    Aaron Allston passes

    Claw Marks was genius...just reread it recently on my Wing Commander 1 replay. The story in Secret Missions was amazing as well and really set the tone going forward. I unfortunately don't have experience with some of his other work, but he was an amazing guy, and I was very sorry to hear this...

    BREAKING NEWS: George Oldziey Launches Wing Commander Music Kickstarter! (February 20, 2014)

    First of all, awesome! I'm planning to back but want to think about it a bit before I decide how much. I really adore the Wing Commander music, but I'd love to see orchestral music from 1 and 2 as well, and I'd really love more than 10 minutes. That said, still awesome, and I plan on pledging...

    Wing Commander II Weirdness Around Mission 11 - Mysterious Deaths/Missing Ships

    Played this mission several more times. Yeah. Something's weird with this mission. Another thing I noted - if you pull up the Nav map, sometimes it's...condensed. What I mean by that is, all the Nav points are really close together (maybe a centimeter or two apart). If you hit N again to...

    Wing Commander II Weirdness Around Mission 11 - Mysterious Deaths/Missing Ships

    centaurianmudpig, thanks for the comment - I have a theory, but I have no idea if it's accurate. For whatever reason in this mission, when I manually fly away from the Concordia, it seems to not want to fully disappear from screen and when I get near the Clydesdale and Broadswords, the music...

    Wing Commander II Weirdness Around Mission 11 - Mysterious Deaths/Missing Ships

    So this has to do with WC2 Mission 11. It's a Rapier mission with Hobbes. Concordia comes under attack, I'm to protect it, rendezvous with a couple of Broadswords protecting a Clydesdale Minesweeper, then attack a small Strike Group, and finally head to a space station. All's well and good...

    Who owns the rights to Wing Commander?

    I'll be curious to see what happens. I wouldn't mind another Wing Commander game as I do love the universe, but EA without the heart of Chris and the original devs (many of which who are working on Star Citizen) makes me think we'd get something arcadey and not that great. Still, even a decent...

    Wing Commander HD (I would so like to see)

    I'd love to see this, but I can't really fathom EA allowing it to happen (unless they were to do it themselves). That said, I'm enjoying the hell out of the originals in all their LD glory =oP, and things like GOG make them fairly accessible.

    Probably a dumb question - WC2 Helmet - Blurred word?

    Interesting discussion all. =)

    Probably a dumb question - WC2 Helmet - Blurred word?

    Good point re the movie. That's gotta be it; I'm just dense. =oP I kept trying to figure out the letters.

    Probably a dumb question - WC2 Helmet - Blurred word?

    Oh cool! I *have* of course seen the names on the comm screens inside the fighters (which completely slipped my mind); I just was looking for them in actual cutscenes I guess. Really interesting to see the artwork still in the game that didn't make it. And cool tidbit about the hair as well...

    Probably a dumb question - WC2 Helmet - Blurred word?

    Oh okay thanks. Guess I haven't noticed the other characters in helmet yet. =) Cool!

    Probably a dumb question - WC2 Helmet - Blurred word?

    So I've wondered this since starting WC2, and it's probably just my imagination, but... The helmets in WC2...the yellow blurry stripe at the top. What is it? It almost looks like a blurred word to me...and it looks lower res than the rest of the image. Am I just crazy or something? =oP

    Wing Commander II - Crash A22 to DOS prompt?

    Hey all, I've gotten this twice now, and I'm not sure why. Wing Commander II is playing really great for me in general in native DOS, but every once in a while, after completing a mission, upon trying to land (Request Clearance works fine, complete with authorization...then I approach the...

    Wing Commander II Proper Speed Consensus?

    Final update (tho' comments of course welcome) for anyone interested or anyone venturing something similar in the future. When I posted this, I had been tinkering about with both speed settings flying random missions (first several) and viewing partial cutscenes until last night and still...
