I've been a huge WC fan ever since I received WCI for Christmas when I was 10 years old. I have played every WC game/addon since then, and have loved every moment.

I just have a question. I have played WC1; Secret Ops I and II; WCII, WCIII, WCIV, and Prophecy Gold, is there anything that I have missed? Has anyone heard anything about the next step in the series? Are they just going to scrap the series after the first bug encounter?

Thanks,
TRiP
 
Did you play the add-on campaigns for both WC1 and WC2? There were two add-ons for each game.
There was also Wing Commander Armada and Wing Commander Academy.
Finally, there's Privateer, which is set around the same time as WC2, and involves using your own ship to engage in various legal and illegal activities of your own choosing.
 
Well, if you love wing commander, you've come to the right place. As for the continuation of the series, there was a thread about that a couple of days ago.

-wheeps-
My very first thread. Oh... memoriiieeeeeeeeeeees

Best, Talyn
 
Privateer also had an add-on called "Righteous Fire" and have you read the novels? Because they contain a lot canon information. And there's the movie and the WCA cartoon on TV of course...
 
Well, it's not exactly on TV anymore........but......you can download it! (WCATV that is of course)

Oh yeah, there's also Unkown Enemy which comes out 'when it's finished' and alot of other fan campaigns.
 
I know, I know, I did that a long time ago. :) I was just wondering if there's actually no more country showing it...
 
i heard it still plays once in a while on the canadian :))) teletoon channel. but i have never been watching at the right time :(


oh, yeah. i think i remember somthing on the main page a few months ago about it being on some channel in asia or somthing. (phillipines?)
 
Well, I watch Teletoon quite often (gotta love their retro times, oh the memories. I wish they would put on He-Man. Sorry, got a bit off topic there) and I have yet to see the WCA show. If anyone knows the time it is on can they tell me? I would love to see it on the TV. I think everyone who replied listed all the versions of WC available. Oh, and welcome to the board. I love this place, Its nice to know that I'm not the only person in the world who has loved this series since it came out in 1990. My first version was a pirated copy:eek: from my Uncle. My first real copy was WC2, I got it for christmas. When did everyone else come into the series and how?

Wing Commander Prophecy {A whole 3/4 mission series that was cut from the game!}

Wing Commander {SNES} {Worse graphics, weird dialogue changes, one extra scene, more info in manual}
Secret Missions {SNES} {Worse graphics, weird dialogue changes, new intro scene}
Wing Commander {Amiga} {TrainSim slightly different!}

Oh.....my.......god..........he's at it again. ;) Loaf, the walking talking breathing WC encycolopedia.

You forgot to mention the maps loaf!
 
Maybe you should put something like that up someplace really obvious LOAF. Although I expect nobody will bother reading it before posting those sort of questions;)

An as-good-as-your-gonna-get beginners guide to quite a bit of WC sort of thing...
