I don’t know if this has been posted before, but while messing around with the options on a thin PlayStation 2, I found that texture smoothing can be enabled for old PS1 games. This includes the PlayStation version of WC3 (tested), and possibly WC4 (which I don’t own). This is done for any PS1...

So I had a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment while watching Die Hard 2 this morning. When the terrorists are setting up their equipment, one of the consoles used is the post-mission computer from Wing Commander: Prophecy where you check your mission stats. The shot from DH2 is just a camera pan...

While waiting in the drive thru yesterday, I came upon a kid’s typo… or was it? Does this look more like a SWC Dralthi or WC2 Drakhri?

Not only do I STILL have this; I’ve been resurrecting my old Macintosh Performa (lower right corner) to run this classic collection! After 25 years I finally got Super Wing Commander to start the other day. It locks up running the video sequences, so I haven’t gotten to play it just yet. More...

Well, shut my mouth! That is a legitimate data plate. I've never seen one that had the engine's serial number on it until now. I've only seen that included on the Manufacturers Aircraft Association data places. I wonder why the MAA included that, because every other data plate I've seen doesn't...

Love the data plate, but one thing worth pointing out is that you won’t normally find the serial number of the engine on the airframe data plate. Airframes frequently have engines swapped out when they reach overhaul time. In aviation, we have a saying: “If the engines aren’t spinning, it’s not...

I gave my vote to the Galaxy as it was tough as nails in a dogfight, but with the right engine mods could easily outrun pesky Church of Man Talons if outnumbered or wanting to make a quick buck on a patrol mission. If it were included, I would have given my vote to the Thunderbolt. Three guns...

I have been trying to figure out what this missing scene is for over 20 years! Perhaps it’s the original departure scene from Nephele Spaceport before they turned it into a CGI Mos Eisley. You can also see this scene in the trailer voiced by Donald Leroy LaFontaine (you know, the 1990s movie...

Looking forward to it!

Here’s a background WC prop which can be found in another production. This futuristic console (although if you look closely, it looks like a solar panel attached to a battery box and lights) can be found on the hangar deck of the TCS Midway in WCP, as well as a later Coca Cola commercial from...

I know EXACTLY where this song is featured! (No telling, though!) I take it we're supposed to email our answers to the email on George Oldziey's music page? (gato6music@gmail.com) That's where I sent my answer to. It didn't say specifically where to send it in the article. Any help would be...

Oh, but the struggle was real for Mac users in 1996. There were few retail places that sold mac games, and the crossover ports were few and far-between that my PC counterparts were enjoying on their computers. It was either Costco or Egghead Software that consistently carried good Mac titles...

It's a shuttle/transport. I actually just reconstructed this very model on Blender the other night based off some text files I found in the WC/Origin Models Archive. If you open conttran.asc (Confed Tiny Transport?) with notepad, you get a long list of coordinates for vertices. The vertices were...

I had that trading card up until the summer of 1997! I lost it at some point when I moved. It was how I learned that Wing Commander existed for the Super Nintendo in the days before I used the internet. I didn't have a PC yet (grew up on a Mac), but I had already played WC III & IV and wanted to...

Your peanut butter is in my chocolate! (Old reference) ;-)

Yeah I just realized I only could paid for the digital copy. That explains why I was surprised that there was a CD. Lots of stuff to forget about in a year. We're good here.

Same issue here. Donated to Fundrazr and didn't get an email.
