    Handles .. .

    Oh god! Sailor Moon and Speed Racer? Ahhh!!! :eek: lol ;) To each their own I suppose. Bebop does rock though. Part of what blew me away was that it seems to actually have better writing than me previous 2nd all-time-favorite, BGC. (#1 is, was, and always be Star Blazers/Yamato, of course...

    Handles .. .

    I'm lazy....and a perfectionist. lol When I went on The Zone to play QuakeWarrior err, sorry, MechWarrior 4 (that is not _real_ MW, but that's besides the point, I know. :D ), I had read on 3D Action Planet that it was best to use a throw away name when getting started in MP gaming. So, I...

    Where can I find Wing Commander 1?

    Ebay (as suggested in my now, unfairly (IMHO) closed thread) is a great place to look. I have the Deluxe Ed (with SM1&2) on CD, but still wanted the original releases, just to have. I found, and bought, 2 copies in very good condition. After my get-out-of-debt-quest is complete, I may even go...

    Request for Undocumented WC1 Facts

    I guess maybe that's where I'm confused. The post that I assume was edited (as it's not here now) simply contained info about the location of SM1&2 IIRC. Seeing as how they are publicly available anyway, how can that be a "warez" post?

    Request for Undocumented WC1 Facts

    Ok, well, I failed at every attempt to get this to work. I'll try to keep it short, but I'll tell you all b/c it's almost kinda funny. I tried installing SM1&2 from the WC1Deluxe Ed. CD, but that did not work. It needed a few DOS files. Well, my FDD is busted, and my Server's NIC is...

    Request for Undocumented WC1 Facts

    I did not know that, but I also didn't mean over all, rather, just with the re-release. Seems to me that being incomplete like KS is, just doesn't make any sense. It's supposed to be the entire WC series, up to and including 3, well, with 4 add on packs missing, it's hardly the entire WC series...

    Request for Undocumented WC1 Facts

    You've all been a lot of help so far. Thanks. :) Now I've finished WC1, and want to move on the SM1. I have both SMs in the original packaging, but as I'm rather, um, particular about the condition of my collections, I'd really rather not use that original media (plus my FDD is not working...

    WC Fighter Roles?

    I know we're talking 3 here, but the title isn't so specific, and I'm currently playing 1 again, so I just wanted to chime in. :D Is it just me, or is the Rapier Confeds most effective missle? lol :)

    Request for Undocumented WC1 Facts

    I've searched Google, but can't find an answer to this one either. How far can you be promoted in WC1? I could swear it was Col., but I could be wrong. I am almost positive that Lt. Col. is attainable though. On a related note, are the promotions handled differently in KS then in the original...

    I must know....

    In great Sci-fi like Star Trek, nobody ever truly dies. Why should it be any different for WC? I for one am extremely pissed about that ending, even more so by it's unresolved cliff hanger nature. Blair needs to survive, even if we only find about it as hearsay in a sequel (assuming that...

    Request for Undocumented WC1 Facts

    I'm playing KS. I have the original, both on CD and on floppy, and while, ideally, I do prefer to play them all in their original format, I think that it's no longer all that advisable on modern hardware. I only have a PIII 733, but using mo'slo to crush it enough to make the game playable also...

    Request for Undocumented WC1 Facts

    Thanks for the link. It doesn't really help though. Short of luck, I am convinced that it is not possible to take out 4 Gratha (not Krants as the link suggests) with a Rapier before they can destroy the Ralari. The destroyer is just not strong enough and it's lone escort and Bossman are just...

    Request for Undocumented WC1 Facts

    Now I have a slightly new question, or at least a new twist on this one. In WC1, (in the Kurasawa missions I beleive) you get a mission where you have to go defend a Ralari that was stolen. You are assigned Bossman as a wing. Trouble is, after you fight through the group of Salthi in the...

    Is WC too arcade like?

    That only happens (in WC1 at least, playing it again currently) when you hit the burners, then let off them and turn. (I haven't seen it anywhere else at least, it tend to behave rather like a fantasy 3Dimensional sports car) Sounds like the description of life in the middle ages. Or battle...

    Is WC too arcade like?

    I suppose it all comes down to how one choses to define "arcade-like". Time Crisis II had a story and cut scenes, as did Silent Scope 1 & 2. The entire Tekken and Mortal Kombat series' had epic plots as well (ok, no cut scenes, so more of a stretch, but still...). And let's not forget about...

    Is WC too arcade like?

    Yes it is arcade like. The flight engine alone is what makes it arcade like. It would be great if it was more like the B5 game that was should've come out (but never did...<sniff>:( ), but is still good in spite of the hopelessly flawed Star Wars like flight physics. The only space fighter...

    Request for Undocumented WC1 Facts

    Thanks for all the help guys. :) The TCMoH/Pewter Planet is what I was thinking of, yes. It's nice to finally have some of the mystery taken out of it. Just a shame that the same can't be done for the promotions. LOAF, just for the sake of clarity....when the Aces show up again, is it on...

    Request for Undocumented WC1 Facts

    Hi, I am new to this board. I'd like to start off by saying that I never would have thought that there are any people who are as into WC as I am (if not more so), and to see so many of you is a glorious thing. :D I've recently restarted the series for the umpteenth time, and I made an...
