WC for Commodore 64?

I don't know if someone knew about this.
I found this on eBay. Wing Commander for the C64. It's not by Origin, but a 1984 game by Creative Sparks (H.G.J. Ellis) and distributed by THORN EMI Computer Software.
I found a screenshot somewhere and it looks like the first version of flight simulator.

You got it right, it is not a game from our beloved WC series.

Here's a CIC update with a few shots. The 'splash screen' looks sort of like the WC1 box art.

Ewww. You can only imagine how the in-game music must sound like. <G>

I used to love my old C64, my favorite games were Starflight, and Red Storm Rising.

Freaky and cool. I also bought a book titled "Wing Commander", which had a picture on the front which, at first glance, looked like WC box art. Turned out it was a cheezy conspiracy novel written by a retired F-14 pilot. I still recommend it, if only for the level of detail.

I had such great C64 games... like Indiana Jones, Buck Rogers and a really cool race game that I can´t remember the name.
