    Star Wars IV A New Hope question

    I didn't notice the scar on Return of the Jedi, but bear in mind that it's an entirely different actor in the Darth Vader costume when the face reveal is done. P.S. - Han shot first!

    New Wing Commander Game?

    About the only story line that might make sense is the start of the whole Kilrathi war. There is certainly quite a bit of time before the first WC game that could be developed into multiple new entries.

    Why is the Space-Sim genre still dead?

    In my opinion, Enterprise was a show that suffered from too much executive meddling. With the new Star Trek movie, Enterprise is the only lore that was not touched. The future is up in the air, although it's safe to say that Star Trek was much better than the last entry for the Next Generation...

    Why is the Space-Sim genre still dead?

    I have to agree that the neglect of the space simulation market is mostly due to interest from studios to do FPS games. Space sim has shifted over to strategy with worthy entries. In regards to the remake discussion, ABC revived the V show. I watched the entire first season. I don't see the...

    Who voices Casey in Secret Ops

    The voice actors are listed, so I suspect it's a process of elimination using Internet sources. Check the credit list on my channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/DaveCaspermeyer#p/c/066D6C5390CC95D7/54/JQWahVaJxEk

    New member - Perhaps old question...

    One avenue would be Amazon.com for the Wing Commander entries with FMV. This means Heart of the Tiger, The Price of Freedom, and Prophecy. A bit of a bonus is that this site has Secret Ops as a download for Prophecy. For the earlier entries in the series, my only suggestion is eBay. In regards...

    Best Storyline

    I voted for Wing Commander 3 since it wraps up the Kilrathi war. There are other story elements I enjoyed, although I can understand that FMV may be a deal breaker.

    Most overrated fighter?

    The Bearcat does not have many missions you can fly in with it, so it's a bit hard to judge. The highest cruise speed of any fighter in the game, and you need to approach dogfighting in this thing like the Epee.

    Most overrated fighter?

    I'm not taking the bombers listed as fighters(Crossbow and Shrike), so that leaves a few less selections. I found that a good key for the Hellcat is to just use one set of cannons. I think the changes to the Rapier in WC2 made the fighter a shadow of its former self, although it is made clear...

    Best ways to win the last SO1 mission

    The key to that mission is to decoy the Gothri away from both of the capital ships. Afterburning seems to throw off the aim sometimes. If that does not help there is another way to win the mission.

    There's Always (A New) Hope (June 26, 2010)

    I wonder if the creature below the Easter Island part is one of the Shofixti from the Star Control games.

    Epee Sketch

    For a better frontal reference, I took a new screen shot of the Epee from WC2. Compare to Wedge's sketch, but as I mentioned before it's a good job!

    Epee Sketch

    I'm attaching a shot of the actual WC2 Epee for reference. Good work Wedge!

    Thanks Chris! You're awesome!

    I was having difficulties logging into the forums, and he helped out with a password reset. I have no idea what happened to all of the reset emails that were sent out.

    Spoony "reviews" Wing Commander

    I checked out a few of the reviews, and the reviews are too long. There's no way you should take 40 minutes to review Avatar. Brevity is the soul of wit.

    Escape key won't work with WC4 DVD(2 sided)

    Thanks AD! You were right about a DVD program still running as a process and being resident in memory. I mentioned earlier that Ulead had been used, and it had two programs still running as a process. As soon as I took both of the programs out of running as processes and ran the registration...

    Escape key won't work with WC4 DVD(2 sided)

    Ok, following your idea and then registering the file while the game is running will let you get past the first video. If I want to bypass the next video, I have to run the registration again. Tabbing out and back into the game lets you get to the next video segment. I believe at this point it's...

    Escape key won't work with WC4 DVD(2 sided)

    If you can't use the escape key to skip cinematics, the video will lock up as soon as you meet the other veteran in the bar. To answer the question, using AC3 filter does not let you use the escape key and it won't let you get past the first cinematic. Without AC3 filter, you can play the game...

    Escape key won't work with WC4 DVD(2 sided)

    I've tried multiple ways to get the game to work including using the instructions and AC3 filter mentioned. If I take out the AC3 filter, the videos work but there is no sound. I'm really wanting to play the game in HD glory on this version, so I'd like to know if there is a specific...

    Bnet = Online Savage Land?

    Without LAN for both Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3, I think you'll be forced to log into Battle.net. I've not played there for a very long time, mainly due to other gaming interests.
