Micromania Reviews a Mega-Game (September 2, 2008)

[Bandit LOAF]

Don't you love these international magazine scans? We can thank Maxi de Sokar for another set! This is an issue of Micromania (No. 76) from 1994 - it's feature article is about Wing Commander Armada, but it also has updates on Super Wing Commander and Heart of the Tiger. I can't even read Spanish, but the layout speaks for itself - people all over the world were excited about Wing Commander in the same way!

A time when the 3DO was revolutionary.

I still get that same feeling of excitement and anticipation that I did when I was young every time I look at the box art for Armada. I used to imagine what those Arrow pilots would be thinking, zooming head on towards a cat carrier.

There's an equally great piece of Armada promotional artwork that's seen less often -- Arrows going up against a wing of Goran:

I think we have the original file of the image in the Mythic material!

I've never seen that version before. Almost as daunting as seeing the carrier at your 12 o'clock!

I think i have a few old magazinces from my country that do reviews on WC games, i'll try to scan them if you want.

 

[Bandit LOAF]

That'd be great - I love seeing these (and other people do, too)

 

[Chaosbringer]

Alright, as soon as i can i'll scan them.
