Game Dev Tycoon Includes Wing Commander Easter Eggs (September 2, 2013)

[ChrisReid]

Hurleybird spotted some neat bonuses in the software sim Game Dev Tycoon. When a player moves from the garage to an office, they'll find a familiar looking wall poster for a game titled "Space Commander." There's even a "Hero Citizen" tucked away. If you go and actually label your creation "Wing Commander," it'll unlock an achievement called "Bluehair reporting for space duty - Little known fact: Cats go all agro in space." Game Dev Tycoon got some notable publicity earlier this year due to a clever copy protection scheme. It went up for sale on Steam last week for about $8.

That and the Doom poster were so cool, not only were they nice nods to those games, they made you feel like you were developing games in the early nineties.
