The Other 25th Anniversary Live Stream (October 30, 2015)

[ChrisReid]

The Cloud Imperium games team wasn't the only group to play through the original Wing Commander to celebrate the game's 25th annivesary last month. The New Game Plus team spent 8 hours playing through it the next day on September 27. The trio at the helm don't have quite as much to contribute as LOAF and Chris Roberts did, but they actually used the Sega/Mega CD edition that includes full speech. There are a handful of miscellaneous changes with this console port such as different background music, cockpit / general font format tweaks and input differences related to the controller, so that alone makes it interesting to check out. They also go to some different systems on the losing track and finally end it in Port Hedland. Although they didn't take out the Star Post or save the Ralari, we applaud anyone willing to dedicate their entire day to Wing Commander like this!
