    Eeeeeew

    I also have always thought that in addition to referring to Luke and the Jedi order, the title represents Vadar and his ultimate redemtion.It represents his final completion of a journey began long ago, namely that of being a Jedi. On an unrelated note about movies like Independence Day,I...

    Eeeeeew

    It just seems,to me, a little forced and to obvious.It is like if the title of TPM were, The Blockade by the Federation.I'm sure we will get used to it,though.Take a look at the previous titles such as the Empire Strikes Back.It is so lodged in our psyche's that, we realy do not think much about...

    The Wing Commander Marines Half-Life Mod!

    Bloodfang,It also might be a good idea to check some of the Half-Life editing sites out there.You might get lucky and find a Wing fan.Even if they're not a fan of it,if you can convince them that it will be good enough,some of them just might be willing to help.If not actually on the...

    Privateer 2 and the rest of the WC universe: My explanation

    The quote in question, was from an old Pc gamer article on Privateer2.In it Bradshaw said not to be surprised if they make some kind of Star Trek style(Generations?) crossover game which was tentatively planned for the future.It was Pc gamer's October 96 issue.To the best of my knowledge,that...

    State of games today

    Yeah,I agree that the the characters in Star Wars might not be the accolade of literacy,but I disagree in that the characters are mere cardboard cutouts.Luke,Vadar,Chewy,even the Stormtroopers on a simplistic human level, appealed to people.There are some universes that try hard to create...

    State of games today

    Wing Commander's,story,universe,and atmosphere was what has kept me so attached,so I agree there.I think the problem with games today is not that good involving games do not exist,but that there are just so much more drivel these days.There still are those involving games.Deus Ex for...

    Privateer 2 and the rest of the WC universe: My explanation

    The humans(humanoids)in Priv2 are not related in any way with Confed.Anhur is the "cradle of humanity".Their culture developed spaceflight thousands of years earlier.So, I do not think that they migrated there.I do not think the aliens in question(involving Schick Nields)would be the Nephilim.It...

    Game Ports/Where did WCM go wrong?

    True,a lot of fans did not like it,but the majority of fans,who are not as hardcore,did not even care.I know of some people who have been fans of the series from the start and didn't mind any of it.Your correct in saying that a lot of,hardcore, fans did not like it,but in movie numbers this is...

    Game Ports/Where did WCM go wrong?

    To reply to the general wave of discussion going on around here.I for one, absolutely, had no problem with the minor differences in the movie.Like I said,I liked even the pilgrim thing.Little things like changes in the characters,differences in the ships,or some plot differences do not even...

    Game Ports/Where did WCM go wrong?

    There are many factors I think.Marketing,and budget being big reasons,but I think it boils down to one thing,the movie just was not very good.We, as Wing fans, are quick to defend the movie,and I did like many things about the movie, even the pilgrims.From a non biased standpoint however,the...

    Aesthetics ... Which WC Do You Like Best?

    Some of my strongest memories have been from the first two.There was something about them. Perhaps it was the slightly colonial style uniforms in Wc2 ,or the moody,dare I say profound,feel present in the piano solos of Jazz,or the World War 2 feel which enshrouded the first one.All the Wing...

    End Run

    Try going to a used bookstores as previously mentioned.You can find some pretty rare items there.I found my copy of End Run at a used bookstore,and the book was only about $2.25.I have also seen some other fairly rare items that you wont find in a mainstream bookstore.Items such as the...

    A little question

    Yes it's just like the original,so it is probably Mac. I know that they are not continuity errors,I was just wondering.Anyways, thanks. On a seperate note did anyone notice that the stunt Co-ordinator for Priv2 was Nick Gillard?He was also a stuntman.Does anyone know if this is the same guy...

    A little question

    Hello everybody.I have a little question which has puzzled me.A while back I purchased from a local used bookstore a Wing1&2 deluxe edition.All of the software sold at these places were previously owned.Whoever had owned it it before me, had included some extra things.In addition to the...
