So it runs fine under Windows? Or is it Kilrathi Saga? I'm thinking of trying to track down a copy myself, but the demo of the original version didn't work for me.

Er... are you making it out of Lego or something? :P

Damn. I really though I had it, there. If either of those are enabled, you will always "fail" missions, even if you haven't. You absolutely, absolutely sure? I don't know what else it could be. Sorry :/

No, it's not! Sound, heat (except for IR) and kinetic energy are all propagated by molecules "striking" adjacent molecules, passing their energy on. Kinetic energy doesn't propagate through a vacuum either!

Yeah, so does the ship's hull. :P

*jaw drops* There is no way for the sound of a starfighter exploding to reach the air inside your fighter, for it to then reach your ears, unless your ship is flying through the explosion. None. There is no sound in space. The air in the cockpit means you can hear the noise made if you smack...

Switch off invulnerability and unlimited ammo.

Oh right; fair enough. Apparently I misread your initial comment; sorry about that. Anyway... Ah. I was expecting this. I'm not really angry or offended... It's just that you stated as fact an opinion which I completely disagree with, so I retaliated. Ban away if it makes you feel better...

Nope. There are two; Mike "Gabe" Krahulik and Jerry "Tycho" Holkins. Anyways: 1: Both Gabe's and Tycho's styles of writing are refreshing, witty, and humorous. See? I can phrase my opinions as fact too! 2: The commentary isn't designed to be funny, although sometimes is. 3: They're usually...

Ouch! I think he struck a nerve here! I also question, based on your reference to only one person, whether or not you ever read PA :P

The attraction of Wing Commander's story is not that it's original but that the came actually HAS one. It integrates the story into the gameplay - you feel like you're actually out there flying for a reason, part of the tale. Who cares if you've heard the tale before? You're actually PART of it...

Raxis in Potter quadrant is the most profitable trade route in the game, as far as I'm concerned. It's got a refinery and an agricultural planet situated close enough to be within one autopilot of each other (so no danger of pirates etc in between). I'd say it's pretty hard to beat a...

I think the two fighers have nothing to do with each other. The airframes are completely different.

Argh... my eyes...

I've cut this short to just WC1 and WC2, and they're listed in the order in which I played them. Wing Commander 2 I've never really liked the Ferret, but it's undeniably powerful. Excellent speed and maneuverability, excellent firepower, and excellent shield recharge rate. It's fast enough...

I don't know about C&C Generals, but the original Command & Conquer's FMV was great :)

Hey, it would work. After all, there were other references in the story to getting to Gemini "being no day trip", or words to that effect. Judging by the universe map, there are some systems near the Sol system which we know of as star systems irl (Alpha Centauri, Proxima Centauri, Sirius etc)...

As was I (nya nya na nya nya), although I mostly infered that from the nav maps having no jump lines out of Gemini. For that matter, the mention in the manual of out hero travelling "to Gemini" on a freighter bothered me, since I couldn't figure out how it could get there if there were no jump...

Oh well. WC1 works ok for my under DOSBox and WC2 flawlessly, but I guess a proper dos box will beat it every time ;) Mine was X-wing, actually ;). Elite was before my time.

My jaw is hanging open in amazement... People, whether cheat codes are bad or not really has nothing to do with this. The point is, this guy is suggesting something that is very difficult to do even for technically skilled people, and utterly pointless. Saying "oh, I think I'll reverse...
