The more I watch old Battlestar Galactica (the old one with Lorne Greene), the more I think that Wing Commander took several cues from or was heavily inspired by the show. Here's some things I've noticed.
Check out Apollo's (on right) uniform here:
Looks a lot like the Confed uniform from WC3:
Same latch-up front and patches on the shoulders, with buttons on the collar.
Now, check this fighter out from BSG, the Viper:
Looks an awful lot like a Ferret from WC2, doesn't it?
I also noticed that the sound effect for the Viper's acceleration sounds exactly like a jump point opening in WC3. It's a couple of different sounds mixed together, but the WC3 jump sound is one of them.
Check out the Cylon fighter, the Raider:
Looks like a Dralthi.
I also think that the Battlestar Galactica itself looks like a Drayman from Privateer.
Does anyone else see these resemblances, or do I just have Wing Commander on the brain?
