A Few New XBTF Reviews Released (March 1, 2000)

[ChrisReid]

I don'think I've seen a single X: Beyond the Frontier review that's not mentioned Privateer in it. ATFW found a couple more at GameCenter and Daily Radar. You can find the actual articles here and here. One thing of note is GameCenter's reference to the "often-overcredited Wing Commander: Privateer." If anything, Privateer gets *under* credited in more often than not. The original Priv game has received "favorite Wing Commander game" status in at least one prestigious Gamespot poll, and despite its incompatibility with any flavor of Windows it's still a big seller on eBay. And it looks that the Privateer subseries will be what carries Wing Commander in the next few years. It certainly deserves all the credit it's received. This isn't the first comment of this sort I've read at GameCenter, but to each his or her own I suppose. Anyone agree or disagree? Send it to our mail bag.
