By the way, I am not the "Dave" that he blames for this disaster at the end of the auction description :) US$375 = AU$750 = mortgage my car!!

Oh boy, you have got to read this poor guy's auction description ... http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1228750959 I didn't know weather to laugh or cry ! "Until a few minutes ago, the game was shrinkwrapped and unopened. A would-be bidder emailed me with a threat...

OK this is the deal to beat them all! A genuine hand-painted pair of Wing Commander undies ... still in the wrapper!! bid now! If I get the reserve price of 6 bars of gold bullion, then I will throw in a rare, hard-to-find Wing Commander toothbrush !!! UNBELIEVABLE OFFER ! (I saw a used pair...

The only thing I hated about the plasma was on the odd occasion near the end of a long mission, some stupid wingman would fly in front of you as you fired on something. Next thing you know its kaboom, followed by "I can't believe you'd turn on me like that!", and its back to the start of the...

The deluxe version also has a "limited edition" patch and poster. So if you're a serious WC collector its probably better to go for that. Actually if its a European Deluxe version, then it has P1 included as well. As for WCP - I think its worth the extra to get the gold version (but then I...

How about my original Wing Commander I manual ... I've even shrink-wrapped it to protect it! VERY RARE item: only US$1000! Must see to believe !! Email me NOW - quickly before it goes !!

Well here's a bargain for you then ... not happy to pay $500, then go for this "buy now" option: http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1228337135 An absolute steal at only $425 !! woohoo ! Boy people who own KS are starting to get really optimistic with the prices they...

Wow - that server was awesome!! Nice and quick even down here on the end of the world, and I managed to get all the episodes I don't have in less than a day! Thanks TyeDye - I'm forever in your debt (but don't try and call the debt in anytime soon :) ) Much appreciated !!

Um, I know this isn't really WC related, but did anyone see the official Star Wars site? It had a green and black site (alah the old green screens), and a heap of updates about the "current" making of "Empire Strikes Back". The site is dated 1979. Not bad at all actually - it made me wonder...

Well actually "yes" ... if you read some of the writings that you can find of Hitler's, you'll see that he did admire the English race since they were of similar Aerian (spelling?) stock to the Germans (I won't go into the irony of Hitler being a short, dark, Austrian). He would have prefered to...

Another reason was of course the fact that Hitler actually admired the British and wanted them to be an ally - he had no initial plans to fight them/invade them.

I'm not going to try and correct you here, cos I think you're pretty much right, but it is interesting that the Spitfire did not actually play such a big role in the BofB as many people think. It was the old workhorse Hurricane that did the majority of the fighting. This material-and-sticks...

Just go to http://www.secretops.com/main_alt.html and then click on "downloads", then "downloads" again (the starter kit one in the top left). That should get you there :)

Ah I actually didn't read all the rest of the posts before I replied to that last one (a bad habit of mine). I was only referring to the game ... not having read the book. I didn't realise that the book claims Hobbes killed Vaquero. My apologies. As for thinking that was what Hobbie was...

Hmm, I'm assuming that when you say "someone who KNOWS this" you are indicating that I wouldn't have a clue?? I wonder should I be offended :) Anyone who's played WC3 and can follow a plotline would KNOW that Vaquero gets killed in the attack on the Victory while you're away. LOAF's burden...

I actually wrote to EA to ask about this offer (since I got a copy of prophecy, before I managed to get prophecy gold), and I never heard back from them :( If I had a dollar for everytime I'd written to a big name company's "contact-for-help" email address, and got no reply ... well ... um...

Was that the one with the CD? It actually comes up every week, and I bid every week, but never get it :-) Its quite funny really, because it sells for "buy now" at $15, and nobody ever buys it, but then the bidding usually goes up to $15 anyway ... ah the joys of ebay ! I'm sort of hoping...

You can still download the first episode I believe (which is about 100MB), but none of the extra episodes. I don't know why EA have left the initial download online still, because its not much use unless you want to play the first episode over and over again. Maybe its to encourage people to get...

I think the point Hobbie's making is that you will DEFINITELY lose Vaquero if you go after Hobbes when you get the first opportunity. Whereas losing wingmen later on depends on your ability to protect them/send them home/not kiss some other girl in front of them/ etc, etc. :) If you pick the...

Actually you can get it from Starvector for $24.95 I think it is... in theory anyway. He promises to match any other prices online, and CDACCESS do P2 Deluxe for $25 (I think its 25 - something like that anyway). So I wrote to Starvector and he said he'd match that price. That's "in theory"...
