    Got a great deal on eBay, but is WC1/2 worth the trouble to play?

    I played the series in order and can't really imagine doing it otherwise. Gameplay wise, it'll be fine, and the story will still be excellent- but 3 wraps up a number of things that we saw first in II, and II was an incredible sequel, in turn, to I... if I were you, however, I wouldn't wait to...

    Leeches

    Hey, what about leech guns? I forget if those were always available, but they seemed to disable faster than regular guns could kill.... at least when fighting Bearcats.

    What would you have done differently?

    At your point 2- maybe switch up the fact that Spirit already had a love interest, as well? Be kind've awkward otherwise.... I agree, though. Point 3 would've been fun. Would've loved to shoot him up. What's wrong with being the son of the Iceman, while we're at it?

    Which Wing Commander game have you played the least?

    I've probably played 4 the least, simply due to the timing of when I got each one. Unless you mean actual play time rather than playthroughs- 4 might take precedence there, if only because of things like ground missions and missile OHKOs....

    Why didn't he just reload the last save?

    1. The thing being discussed was Secret Ops. NOT SM1. Secret MISSIONS is a different word from Secret OPS. 2. Yeah, and I'll bet thousands of people agree that the earth is flat, or some such nonsense. Let's not forget Xenu. The opinions of several thousand people are not statistically...

    A quick tap of the afterburners would solve this problem, really. I have no more problem evading things in a Raptor than I do a Rapier. Heck, I usually fly faster in a Scimitar than I do with those two, simply for fear of running into things.

    Best Weapon Combo

    I think part of the problem is that it's pretty easy to forget what guns you're using in the first place with the superfighters. Get in range, squeeze the trigger and watch it explode. With the Raptor I had to aim, and killing a fighter in that space of time felt accomplishing. With the WC3/4...

    Wing Commander: 20th Anniversary Proposals

    I happen to have the full series of Commander Keen (minus Dreams and 6) downloaded via Steam, which seamlessly launches and runs the game via DOSBox in just such a manner as you're describing, without any hitch whatsoever. There's no reason a similar setup couldn't be used on WC1-4 and Spinoffs...

    If you still have an XP build, throw SM1-2 into compatibility mode. I couldn't get them working until I did so, either. EDIT: Oh hey, up to Major now! ^_^

    Jazz's loyalties.

    I too find it REALLY hard to believe that the Claw would've ever diverted, especially when the Hornets could very easily fly out and make rendezvous with the Claw on time on its current course very easily. Again I say that somewhere this story got distorted before it got to Jazz... or that he...

    Jazz's loyalties.

    ...if you listen to Jazz. I'm pretty sure the Claw wasn't meant to be at Goddard until Confed had already heard something was wrong- at that point they were sent full speed off towards Goddard to clean up whatever kats were there. Somehow I doubt that the true story of the Sivar became public...

    Does anybody take the movie seriously?

    It's even worse, the part he's talking about is in the intro of WC2, not in the books ;).

    Makes you wonder how the heck your wingmen even took a hit on the Kilrah run, doesn't it?

    Blair Looses it.

    It was either Victory Streak or Star*Soldier that made reference to a pilot who was a terror in his bomber, working both the turret and the main flight controls as needed. Hobbes was flying with his hands and gunning for you with his feet, using a conveniently placed rearview mirror. Guy's...

    Just pretend that the ship you're in is Blair's, and that you're Halcyon, and both of you are on different ships. It's part of the strategy to send you out! :D
