That minimum speculative date seems rather likely at this point. At least it is being done!! When I met Erin in Manchester all we spoke about was football. I also met Toast in Manchester and shocked him by remembering what a good Wing Commander pilot he is! I also asked Ortwin Freyermuth to...

Privateer 2 has a number of soccer (Football) references as discussed. Ajax are a Dutch club from Amsterdam as many of you may know, and were extremely popular and successful. At the time of Privateer 2's development they were especially good, winning the European Champions League for 94/95. So...

Thanks Chris, good news and hopefully it will not be too many more years...

🤣 Absolutely! The favorite Major asshole!! (Spaceballs) I keep fantasizing they use the SC engine to make the first two levels of Wing Commander 1 and sell it to EA for the full remake. I would LOVE that game.

I have been wishing that SC/SQ42 went the Freelancer route for a while now. If only we could find the guy who pushed the "advertise ships like they are cars!" idea! 😇 This undoubtedly helped them raise the .6 of a billion and raised expectations an equivalent amount. Sadly, they may never...

I am very sorry to hear about you and your partner's loss. A sad coincidence that I also lost my mum around that time, in September 2019. I stopped tuning in as frequently as a result (I tended to watch hours later to allow for UK time!). Please give Alexis my condolences. Sounds like depression...

Hi all! There was this amazing weekly stream on YouTube that pretty much considered all wings and it was a real highlight. While it did comprehensively consider all wings, it also gave an insight into computing, gaming, and how gamers interacted in the late 80s and early 90s for those of us...

Wing Commander 1 Kurasawa 2 :) Seriously though, my main issue is that I couldn't play them as they are meant to be played. I've only played 1 and 2 on dosbox (& SegaCD emulator). I think the dosbox versions are not how they are supposed to work and are a bit glitchy. The WC3 version on GOG...

I got in to Wing Commander and the CIC because of your enthusiasm over the years at CIG. Thanks for your work getting Star Citizen off the ground in the first place! Here's to the day we can load up Squadron 42 and play a brand new Roberts masterpiece - then EA announce they have contracted CR...

Thank you! I've got it running with these tips and really enjoying this port so far :)

Hi all, I am a big fan of All Wings Considered (and hope that it returns some day, even if not in a weekly format!!). My favourite episode was the one with the WC1 anniversary on Sega CD (Mega CD over here) where Loaf and Dundradal ran through Enyo 1 and 2. This may be blasphemy but I loved...

While I agree that if you interrogate the Picard plot with any real scrutiny you will find super massive black holes. What I take issue with is the inference that other Star Trek series writing has ever not been fishy!!! I am sure there are exceptions, but in general some of the leaps in...

Thanks Chris, wishing Ben a speedy recovery back to full health and flight ready status.

You are very welcome. I was flattered that my observations were shared by Ben during the show, and @Dundradal 's reaction to snooker was hilarious! I am sorry that I only sporadically catch up with the episodes as time permits, and cannot (as yet) be there during the live stream. I would...

I cannot tell you how much I am enjoying this weekly show about all Wings. Sadly, being in the UK with a challenging work/study pattern, I cannot watch it live; but I rip them off YouTube to watch in bursts when time permits. Especially brilliant for me is all the stuff about Privateer 2 The...

That's a fairly polarized view that's hard to respond to, and this is the internet after all. All I'll say is there are some comprehensive and thought provoking literature/research which considers the pros and cons of "nationalism", a term which itself is ideologically contested. I don't...

I've been really enjoying the episodes. Having arrived late to the games it has given a newbie insight in to what the different releases and movie were like from the perspective of fans/superfans at the time they happened. Learning about stuff like Div X disc format is truly fascinating! I'd...

I have only just seen this is a thing, so I need to make time to catch up with the 4 episodes so far (and give appropriate feedback). It looks great though. Has anyone proposed some sort of 25th anniversary hoopla for Wing III? Edit: which according to the wiki is very soon indeed, although...

How was this found?! Looking at the contents page is a serious blast from the past. I was 12 and just started reading titles like this, Edge always seemed like the more 'mature' gamer magazine (and still is imo). Edge treats games more like art, and rightly so. I'm sure Owen will be pleased...

:D :D Anythings possible!
