Didn't they get the rights or something? Huh? Why should WC1 have that?

That's not what I meant. Sure WC2 Deluxe is a common release, however the original floppy disk packages are not. As Highball already stated, the people it seems to be targeted at don't want these games to play them ;) They propably would even consider removing the shrinkwrap near-blashpemy. And...

What puts me off the most is that they seem to have completely changed the music from the awesome Wing Commander theme to some rather generic sounding tune. Yes, I can understand they wanted to include "better" music, being of higher technical quality. But then why didn't they put in a high...

I am not really familiar with the rarity and pricing ot those items, so I'm asking: Could this be considered a reasonable price? AFAIK the Special Operations packages actually weren't sold very often (at least much less often than the main game), making them somewhat rare. And being...

AFAIK, human perception won't be able to tell a difference that small with voices (at least most people can't) - this has to do with the brain "auto-correcting" the difference or something; the music, however, is another issue, if you know how it sounds in the original you propably will notice a...

Sorry for offtopic, but this made me chuckle ;) Ever since I can remember, people (especially those selling hardware) talk about some systems being "(just) good enough for word processing" (usually those 1+ year behind the current generation). So, word processing continually requires better...

Can that be used with Special Ops or even Standoff as well?

Huh? BTW, to follow up on this: I may have gotten a little carried away with this, but, well, see for yourself: They're not really supposed to be modelled after specific Wing Commander fighters, but just kinda follow the style a little (Kilrathi on the left, Confed on the right). If...

I've thought about it quite a lot, and also taken your guys' input into account. Again: I think rolling with the joystick doesn't make any sense, because while you hold down the second button to enable the rolls, you won't be able to pull up or dive, or to turn left or right... so you basically...

Yes, I'm sorry. I really overreacted, also I didn't know the backstory of it (like the developers consulting with fans here and the 50 MB size limit). I still wouldn't play it, as it doesn't fit my taste, but I'm taking back any statements about it not being a true Wing Commander game. After...

Funny thing to notice: If Wave 1 happens to be a Jalthi, and you fly towards it head on (yeah sounds like a stupid idea, but it will take quite some time until its in range so you can still pull out soon enough), the Jalthi will always try to maintain the same orientation as your ship. So if you...

Normally I use the Stiletto in that Sim mission, 'cause that's the ship you'll have to fly in the first few missions. "Shields like a raw egg" I use to say... ;)

Enemy ships/wingmen - limited Afterburner fuel? can suffer component damage? Well, like the title says it, I'd like to know if enemy ships and also your wingmen have limited Afterburner fuel just like you and can have components shot out just like you do, or is the simulation of their ships...

I'm basically playing the Simulator a lot these days to get my skills up to the levels needed for the campaign (after I pretty much fell flat on my ass trying it the first time). So, in Kilrathi Gauntlet I'm getting quite frustrated with the Krants. It's not like they're killing me, but they...

Barrel Rolls I think it fits this thread well to continue here about flight technique and tactics. I've got a question for the "aces" here about barrel rolls. Are they important? Do you use them at all? How do you use them properly? I'm asking this because in Wing Commander 1 and 2...

Mace, are you actually a teacher in the Netherlands? Why am I asking this? Well the story you tell sounds made up or at least vastly exaggerated. For once, I thought the Dutch educational system was quite good. Secondly, I know there are many immigrants in the Netherlands, but one third of the...

Yes, IIRC 10 years ago they spoke about plans of doing it in 2020... ;)

Wow.

Oh yes I would have. Okay, in person I would've been less creative and not come up with that mental illness comment... But the tone wouldn't have changed. I don't gather what's so "insurmountably retarded" about it either. Also, I had expected a more positive reaction to my comment. In fact I...

Test the waters? I'm not sure I'm hoping anything about Arena... Oh, yes, I'm hoping whoever was responsible is getting treatment. Maybe with the proper medication he's already better. ;) Seriously, WHAT IS THAT game? Certainly not Wing Commander! A friend of mine put it this way: Mario...
