Having a dedicated Wing Commander machine is the best route to go. I am thinking about building a legacy machine myself.

Sure she does. :D

Well, if you are running the DOS version of the game in Windows XP, you are probably going to need to use a program like DOSBox. http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/news.php?show_news=1 If you have technical questions, you should post them in the tech support. There are also several useful...

Welcome to the CIC. A lot of people can get WC3 KS to run on their computers to run with minimal crashing by brining up the task manager and setting the priority for Wing 3 to "low." Personally, I had to pull out my laptop and play it on that computer. If your computer is freezing up completely...

Well, that depends on how much of a sicko you are.

Good question. I figured that I would get a few responses, but this is kinda funny.

Well, in a place such at this, with such a dichotomy of personalities, crap is bound to happen. I tend to say just about whatever is on my mind, although I do make a real conscious effort not to offend anyone. Back in the old days of alt.games.wing-commander, I was flamed a few times for...

You can't get too worked up about anything that anyone says here in the forums, unless it is an admin getting on you, which rarely happens. The possibility of offending someone with any comment always exists. Personally, I am a "live and let live" kind of person. I enjoy the forums, get a good...

You are a strange little man.

I had a similar experience with Wing 3. Would you happen to be running the game on a laptop, or on a desktop with an LCD monitor? In Wing 3, when the psychadelic colors would appear, I would hit "alt and enter" to switch to a window. The colors would return to normal, and then I would just...

Spoken like a true playa. I have nothing but the utmost respect for you sir....and very little of that. :D

Thirty years?? Well, I dunno about that. I was just looking in my Wing Commander 4 Official Guide, but it does not list Sosa's age.

One thing I never did understand was the bouncing back and forth in the various games of how fighters tackle capital ships. In the first game you could destroy them with guns or missiles. In WC2 you needed torpedoes because of the phase-shielding. In WC3 you were back to being able to take out...

Yes, and the funny thing is....I know one of them. :D

Yeah, that was my biggest gripe about WC4 was the lack og cockpits. They could have at least given you the option, as in Wing 3.

That I am....that I am. ;)

I chose neither woman, because I thought Blair was better off alone. From what I read, Blair was a pretty miserable little farmer after the war....no money, alcoholic, and with no Kilrathi to fight, well....nothing. Blair was cut to be a fighter pilot, and a life of domesticity was probably not...

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Yeah, well as often as Cobra sharpened that knife of hers.....where was it when she really needed it? :D

Well, yeah, she was pretty damn good until Hobbes gutted her like a turkey.
