    Super Wing Commander cinematics

    I would love to see the CIC post the cinematics from both SWC and WC: Sega CD. The voices I have heard from the CD sound fantastic but I've only heard Halcyon, Shotglass, Paladin, Angel (one line) and Spirit's communication. Would love to see the rest.

    Gah! You just made "the list" Death Angel! Just Kidding, I hold no ill will, actually I'm glad that it at least went to a Wingnut here. I was actually bidding on it just for the SM and SO pieces. I'm sure I'll come across more eventually. Hell, if I'm able to find the Privateer Speech...

    Just don't go around talking about blokes who never existed and you'll get on fine with him.

    Madman, I used to wear my Cross around all the time and nobody really noticed, so it looks kind of bulky and it's kind of heavy until you get used to it, but unless you're wearing tight shirts nobody will notice it (I wore it to work and I had to wear dress shirts at work). As for my...

    Screenshots on the back of the WCII Deluxe

    Is there anything you don't know Loaf?! Thanks for the information!

    Screenshots on the back of the WCII Deluxe

    While I would agree with you on this, and that would be understandable if this were the initial release, it isn't. I'm talking about the Deluxe Edition, which came out in 1992, a full year (and 3 add-ons) after the initial release. You would think that they would have had proper screenshots...

    Screenshots on the back of the WCII Deluxe

    Hey guys, I'm kind of curious as to where the screenshots on the back of the WC2 Deluxe box were pulled from. Most look fine, but the top one isn't the right background, text or character model for, what I assume is, the introduction. Is this an extremely early prototype build? And if...

    Where to get old games offline?

    One hell of a prayer? Offline it would be insanely difficult to actually find sealed boxes. Hell, it's damn nigh impossible to find them online! I don't have any suggestions, but I wish you the best of luck in your search and hope you come up with what you are looking for.

    My only thought on it is that either: 1) The licence for Mindscape was either time limited or use limited (i.e. use it or loose it) or 2) EA bought out Mindscape's stake in it so that none of the profits of EA Replay would have to be shared with Mindscape. Just my thoughts on the...

    What is your favorite WING COMMANDER game?

    This is an easy question, WC2, hands down. Loved the story, the cinematic feel and the aging of all the characters. Everything in this game felt incredibly epic back when it was released, and it was the first game to really make me feel sad about the death of a character (Spirit, who was...

    Just thought I would throw this up again because I have added 2 more items of note! The Kilrathi Saga: This may not seem like much, as a lot of people post that they've recently found one, but the noteable thing about this one was the cost. $50 Cdn. The only annoying thing was that I had to...

    Quick Question: WCP/ SO Pilot Counterparts

    I Stand corrected. Guess I'll have to watch WC again to catch Mark's line on the Concordia bridge.

    Quick Question: WCP/ SO Pilot Counterparts

    Seeing as this was to be an origin story, I don't think people would have bought Hamill as a fresh-faced plebe, no matter how much make-up/cgi was used. Hell, it was hard enough with Freddie Prinze Jr.!

    Quick Question: WCP/ SO Pilot Counterparts

    You mean the voice of Merlin. I'm sure that was meant as a nod to the WC games, as Merlin was initially to have a much bigger part.

    donning the flamesuit, or my review of this series

    Okay, while I'm not going to burn you for your opinions, as you are entitled to them, I am going to respond to some of the points you make. 1) The loss of the ship that you served on in the prior game. Yes, it's kind of a cop-out to get you into a new atmosphere, but I think the point is to...

    A Question For Those In The Know

    Thanks LOAF! I figured someone around here would know that. Being only 8 in 1990, I couldn't remember if 3.5" drives were common or not (my original WC was on 5.25 HD, alas it is in incredibly rough shape due to moves (we moved a lot when I was a kid because my Dad is military) and general...

    A Question For Those In The Know

    Hi everyone! I hope someone here can help me out, because you guys seem to be the authorities on Wing Commander. I recently purchased an absolutely pristine still-sealed WC1 on 3.5 disk, and I was looking at it and wondering if the 3.5" version came out the same time as the 5.25" disk...

    Glad to see that went to a Wingnut! I was looking at getting it myself, but the above recent purchases drained my coffers a little too much.
