WC Prophecy OEM was the first Wing Commander game I've ever played.. It came in a pack of games and 3D demos that were included with the Real 3D Starfighter AGP video card drivers. It was my favourite game out of the games in the pack. Unfortunately, though, the CD that I have for WCP OEM is in poor condition; I can't install it because the music.tre file on the CD is damaged... I have the final version of WCP now, but I thought it would be cool to talk about some of the differences of WCP OEM vs. final version.
WCP OEM only included the missions from H'rekkah 1 to G'wriss 3a/b, and most of the simulator missions except for the Alien Gauntlet missions. After completing G'wriss 3a or 3b, the game would display the advertisement from the WCP demo.
During H'rekkah 3a at Nav point 3 (I think) where you encounter the first Manta, the game shows you a short flyby cutscene before it cuts back to the game. I don't think this was in the final version of WCP; if it is, it doesn't seem to work for me.
The simulator missions also used different music tracks; "Prophecy" was used for missions 1 and 2, "Galactic Hives" was used for missions 3 and 4, "Ahead" was used for missions 5 and 6, and "Tones from the sphere" was used for missions 7 and 8.
That's all I can remember.
