Everything seems much easier on the SNES version. Some may think it is harder since you have to use the gamepad to fly but the kilrathi appear to fly in a simpler way on the SNES. I sometimes found that some kilrathi ships would never come within a certain distance of me, which I hear is due to...

I always acquire lock outside of the range of the capship's flak guns and launch at 5000K, which is sufficient to give the torpedo a good chance of hitting the target. Any closer than this and I find that anything except the sabre is likely to get chewed up by the flak since you are so close and...

lol, the exact same thing happened to me on the third mission of WCP. I locked onto a moray with a javelin and just as I fired, Stilleto flew right in front of it and said, "I can't believe you would turn on me like this," and all my wingmen started trying to blow me to bits. I always knew...

Where is that pic from? She looks almost completely different here. I have to say she is much nicer with her hair let out than tied back like it is in WCP. If they traded in Stilleto for... this different person then she would be right up there with Panther in my eyes.

...then your wingman will not be a happy camper :).

The only one I like in the list is Kombat Wombat, maybe because the words rhyme. But if a pilot in an air force had this callsign, the other pilots would probably end up just calling him Wombat. You really do need a one word callsign, since it is much easier to remember, as already explained by...

The last mission of SO1 was really annoying. The fact that you have 3 wingmen also makes it harder in my opinion because they do not hesitate to shoot through you to get at the enemy. Then finally when I destroyed all the gothri, those fralthra finish off my crippled ship. It took me something...

I always liked how the WC4 strategy guide put it: "Chalk up another one for the Maniac! Sheesh. Give me a break. On more than one occasion I chose to let him play with chalk onboard the carrier rather than annoy me." This just about sums up my thoughts about Maniac's cockiness, but you...

Although all of them are nice, Panther is the best. She is hot.

I don't know if wing commander players would feel the same, but I know that command and conquer players were really disappointed that there was no FMV in C&C Generals (except the small news clips that were added in the zero hour expansion). If you go on C&C forums there are threads that ask why...

I must have got really lucky with Kur as I don't remember him being very tough. I remember beating him by flying really close to him and firing both the rapier's dumbfires at him at almost point blank range. The hardest ace had to be Stalker since he seemed to have the power to resurrect...

Cockpits definitely look better than HUDs. The decreased visibilty is just one of the elements of flying a ship which must be dealt with by the pilot. One thing I remember that made things challenging was when I was trying to lead kilrathi ships with the longbow when they were flying up, but...

Why did the monkey fall out of the tree? Because he was dead... Why did the other monkey fall out of the tree? Beccause he was dead too... Why did the third monkey fall out of the tree? Peer pressure.

I hope that one day EA will wake up and realise how much they are losing out by just sitting on the rights to wing commander and not doing anything with it. If they make a new game and get it right, there is such a big fan base that they will make so much money (which is what they want isn't it)...

Missiles in WC4 are one of the only things I really did not like about that game. You could be going perfectly well on one mission only to have it all ruined by some ship that was lucky to put a missile up your backside without you noticing. One mistake and its over. Those missile spamming aces...

For me it's definitely McDowell. I thought his performance in the games was excellent. I like seeing him in stuff other than wing commander too as I think he is generally quite a good actor.

I'm another person who's five years late as this was the first time I've seen this. What Greek school did Hercules go to? It was strangely difficult to understand Hercules, since as a Greek speaker myself, those words just did not make sense (in Greek of course, not English :p ). The whole thing...

What OS are you using? Are you using win95/98 compatibility mode? Exactly what you are describing happened to me with win2000. To get it to run, I set the game to win98 compatibility mode but not from the kilrathi saga launcher. You have to find the .exe for the game you want to run (e.g...
