Here's a quick look at something most people don't think about: Wing Commander III's low graphics mode! That's right, if you set everything to low quality (even in SVGA as here) then you end up with a game that looks a lot more like X-Wing than Wing Commander! It's kind of a fun alternative to the textured version and the capital ships in particular look wonderful.
... and here's a quick comparison of Wing Commander Prophecy's three original graphics modes: 3dfx, Direct3D and software. Upgrading to a Voodoo card was certainly worth the money even for a broke high school student in 1997! I know the recent fan-led graphics update is spectacular but I'll always have a candle burning for that original look...
