These are amazing!

Not even a week after I record myself saying you can't cheat the asteroid field..... Way to make me a liar!

I had got win95 to install on the pi but it would only run in safe mode even after following the many win95 guides for dosbox but the Pi version is dosbox doesn't entirely behave the same as x86 platforms. So, hence the gba cheat heh

Software rendering required a 166mhz pc the Pi can emulate a high 486 computer through dosbox at the moment so it wouldn't work out.

Pardon the quality but the point is made. The Pi 3 is powerful enough to enjoy the series' Dos games.

Pros: -Voiceovers are cool and some of the characters are how I imagined them -Doesn't do the same single ship at a time thing SNES did so moar action!! -Wing Commander everywhere!!!!!! Cons: -The soundtrack is what really got me into this game moodwise and on the SNES it sounded amazing so the...

Remember 10 years ago? a trance infested FPS space death match lan game? Remember how nothing happened and it faded into history? Well it's back as of last Friday with the first public binary release in over 10 years and it's still as fun as it ever was. http://www.philtopia.com/?p=1248

The positive thing to takeaway from this endless list of cancellations is that EA is still being pitched and considering WC games. One is bound to get through eventually

Good news for linux/mac users the Installer works in wine however their distribution of dosbox blew up in my face BUT you can run it with your naitive Dosbox the file game.gog is actually the iso disk so once you have mounted your C drive in dosbox as the Wing Commander Privateer folder...

Boo. I'll be telling my grandkids one day "Back in my day there were different genres of games...I used to pilot a space ship and shoot cats!...and I used to play games on a computer!!" "Oh sure grandpa, whatever you say *rolls eyes*"

The box is massive compared to anything else I have on my shelf currently. I have always wanted a set of WC fighter blueprints. No one makes anything with this much detail anymore it seems. The wife offered to laminate them for me which would avoid anything crushing like TheFraix mold...

Super Nintendo! SNES Wing Commander got me hooked and the very dramatic intro for Secret missions solidified my hatred for the Kilrathi.

The only reason I like the original ferret is because a battle seems more intense when your computer systems are blowing up all around you. These variants look very cool though

Great games. I replay them every year and they are just as fun and as hard as the first time around

I don't really care for games of today. Too much FPS.

I never played any of those awful games he mentioned which is probably why i thought the FMV era was great as I only played WC3 4 and the C&C games Also, WC movie was terrible. I am glad he mentioned that.

It's nice that the series still gets mentioned places however it isn't nice when it is used as the absolute long shot example in a list of predictions

I'll be having one of these weekends soon I just got my WC2 Deluxe edition in the mail late last week. Need to find some time....

Hey that guy is named like my name! That was 2 weeks ago I mentioned that in chat, you comb through your logs like a hawk ;) I only ever played this once back in the day...I thought the SNES controls were a pain try and cram it all into a 3 button controller..... hehe

I have to agree with this article. I had just had my SNES for a brief time in 92 and I rented WC and back then everything I had played had been a sidescroller, zelda or arcade game then to come across this game. I got so wrapped up in it. Also in SNES the explosions did this neat kinda boom echo...
