I'm not sure there is an official answer! But if I had to guess: Maniac Knight Hunter Angel Bossman Paladin Iceman Spirit

Verman has been experimenting with some technology to bring some of Feng Zhu's unused Privateer Online concept ships to life! They write: Pretty neat way to see what the game could've looked like! You can download a copy for yourself on Sketchfab. Here are the original designs by...

AD has come upon a pretty fascinating vintage article that had not been in our community consciousness. It's a preview of Origin's product lineup from the April 1991 issue of The One, an Amiga-focused computer outlet. It includes a very early description of Wing Commander II and some rendered...

This is a reminder that we have another fun #Wingnut event happening on Discord this morning! Join us at noon EST/9 AM PST for a fun filled morning of television... that all connect to Wing Commander somehow! We'll enjoy two episodes of MST3k that have deep connections to Wing Commander III...

This is a reminder that we have another fun #Wingnut movie night planned on Discord this evening! The ongoing theme will be movies that are referenced by Wing Commander in some way. Tonight's film is Ishtar (1987) and you can find details on why we're watching it in the announcement post here...

Gaijin did a Super Wing Commander Guide some years back! We should really do an updated one for the wiki, though. https://www.wcnews.com/news/2015/01/25/extensive-walkthrough-chronicles-super-wing-commander Most Wing Commander I guides will get you most of the way, though - the missions are the...

I'll add another update to the queue to point people to the article and the archive! It's really neat stuff, so cool that you did so much work to preserve it.

Inside Mac Games was a unique sort of magazine from the mid-1990s. It was specific to the small, affluent community of Macintosh gamers and instead of being printed it came on a CD-ROM! The articles were presented through an interactive executable and they could link to slide shows, trailers...

You've probably heard talk of some excitement going on in Portland, Oregon and it's all true: Wing Commander I and II composer George "The Fatman" Sanger will be appearing at next weekend's Portland Retro Gaming Expo! The convention runs October 17 to 19 at the Oregon Convention Center. We...

AD has found another interesting historical radio broadcast. This one aired on KRFC 88.9 FM on December 30, 2018. It's an hour long interview with Jen Parker. Ms. Parker got her start in video game magazines and went on to become a brand manager for Origin Systems in Europe... and later headed...

The Wing Commander movie club is back from old Detroit and there's no way around it: RoboCop 3 is a bad movie. Like the sequels to Starship Troopers and Showgirls, this is another case of an artful Verhoeven movie being cut down into only its most literal parts. Which is fine: RoboCop said...

Darn! Well, like they say: nothing Ventured, nothing gained.

You will be forgiven if you've never heard of the Keyboard And Terminal Technology (KATT) Game Master Matt. It was a very obscure mid-90s game controller keyboard. Its gimmick was that it was pre-programmed to support specific games and you could buy different layout "matts" (sic) that would...

Iron Sky is in the spreadsheet for a Saturday morning marathon! Which are coming back! October 18th is going to be the next one and we're going to do them roughly monthly through at least January.

Have you ever wondered why the original Wing Commander's cheat code is referred to as the "finger of death"? Sure, you use your fingers to activate it… but that's also how pretty much every cheat code that exists works. There's a little bit more to the story than you would expect: the term...

Here's a preview of Wing Commander SNES that we found on eBay, of all places! We snagged it from one of those 'cut up magazines and sell them as posters' accounts and as of this moment we don't know where it was from. The listing claimed it dates to 1992, which makes sense, but we haven't found...

I think every member of the Wing Commander movie club can agree that 1492: Conquest of Paradise was not the most thrilling film in the world. It's not that it wasn't well made but it just… sort of sat there with lavish production values that never seemed to quite live up to the story it was...

I noticed a similar callout in Prophecy last night - when a navpoint is clear, Maestro has "all clear, nap time!" as a comm.

The Wing Commander movie club is home from exploring the new world with sexy Columbus. I wouldn't say anyone loved 1492: Conquest of Paradise but it was certainly a movie you could think about. This week's movie is... not that. We'll be watching RoboCop 3 (1991), arguably the third or fourth...
