Making the Game: Critique of WCIV, PC (July 6, 2009)

[Bandit LOAF]

To prepare for Wing Commander V, the development team naturally looked at Wing Commander IV. Here's Hugh David's amazing stream-of-consciousness critique of that game's first several missions (it seems to end at Tyr). How do you think he feels about mouse control?

These updates are thanks to John "Captain Johnny" Guentzel, who provided several CD image archives of material used by the Wing Commander Prophecy development team!

I like the "Word for Windoze 6.0" info at the top of the document. Was that an inside joke or just a typo?

Heh, "Windoze" is something that's been repeated so often, it's amongst the most non-inside jokes you can find on this planet.
