    Shameless plug

    This reminds me - according to the stats on blogspot, I got a surprisingly large number of clicks through this site. So thanks to everyone who took the time to check it out! :-)

    Wonder Woman review

    :-( I only read the first two paras of that because I hate spoilers. But sad to hear, I had high hopes. Although I suppose considering it's by the creators of "Batman -v- Superman" anything better than bloody awful is a step up.

    Shameless plug

    Hi guys, Apologies if this is not allowed (mods just delete it if so) but I've started a gaming blog, and as fellow retro-gamers thoughts some of you might be interested. http://mrbacklog.blogspot.com.au Having finished Wing Commander I and II, I'm now working my way through the Ultima...

    There not alot of people in the forum much anymore?

    I'm planning on becoming a semi-regular here. Hanging out on a forum-board is giving me a very early 2000s feel - I used to be a regular on a forum for an abandonware site called Classic Trash back in pre-Facebook days.

    My first WC movie figure

    I had no idea that they made figurines from that movie. Someone obviously expected it would be a lot better than it was...

    If there was a new Wing Commander game?

    To jump back to the original topic... You know, I think I'd like something set after the Kilrathi/Human War. A little obvious, but perhaps the two species have an uneasy alliance or truce, having to deal with a new threat. That'd allow them to work with what's gone before but not try to...

    WC1 (and 2) - why do they work?

    There's some interesting stuff here. You're right, it's WW1. The dripping bucket and consistent location of WC1 (i.e. you're always in the ship) made me think of a bunker behind safe lines fending off enemy attacks - hence Battle of Britain. But the Aces and uniforms do feel more WW1. I'm...

    WC1 (and 2) - why do they work?

    [Apologies for the long post, but I figure if anyone is interested in pontificating about this game's design, it's you guys] Well I finally finished WC1, 2 and all the add-ons. Career total: 110 missions, 778 kills. Despite coming to these games about 30 years late, it's safe to say I became...

    Fralthi bombing run WC2 - help?

    I quickly gave up on "Save the Ralari". I found WC1 hard at the best of times, I wasn't going to bet my kidneys against a brewery (so to speak)

    Fralthi bombing run WC2 - help?

    Huh, I thought it was just me. Thanks for that, I didn't realise you could get a lock at 17k away, or that you could dodge like that. The longer range should make dodging easier, then jet close in ones the cannons have fired... But you won't believe this - I just logged in to try it out. And...

    Fralthi bombing run WC2 - help?

    Hi guys, I'm pretty new to the WC series, and entirely new to this forum (hello everyone!). I'm hoping I can get some tips for bombing fralthis in Wing Commander II? Specifically, I'm on the last mission of Special Ops 1. I'm flying a sabre, there's two cap ships. I'm finding it impossible...
