Finder of things, Doer of stuff
I always enjoy coming across cool Wing Commander bits I've never seen before. Call it illness, or obsession, or just plain geekiness... call it whatever you want, but what it means is that for all of your sakes I periodically do Google searches to see what turns up... and this latest one kind of blew my mind, and maybe it will yours too!

I really don't know what to make of this. It's pretty darn cool though. Was it an official release? I think that's unlikely. It's likely a bootleg, but it's sure one heck of a bootleg if it is. This is a 5 1/4" floppy disk set of both Wing Commander 1 and 2 in Korean. You can see in the photos that the box has separate manuals for each game and what is more, there's even Korean versions of the WC1 ship blueprints!

If you happen to come across strange and wonderful Wing Commander gear you don't think we've seen before (especially if it's in a language other than English) feel free to email us at news@wcnews.com or let us know in our forums here

SKC Soft was a legitimate software publisher in South Korea. Origin licensed them as an official distributer in 1991. This should be the real deal. (Refence was easy, on the bottom right sides of the prints they say "SKC Softland", where "Origin systems" should be.)
