The CIC recently managed to get hold of a copy of the Prophecy Press Kit CDs distributed to the press to promote the game in 1997. Among other things, there was a teaser for the Prophecy introduction. It's quite different from the game version so we've posted it for your enjoyment along with an early version of the Prophecy logo. There were also some pretty pictures which we'll post later, but for now you can see the original logo and read how the game's intro should have been here.
People often ask us what Wing Commander creator Chris Roberts is up to. Most recently, his film related work via Ascendant is ongoing, and he is currently executive producer of the upcoming Punisher movie. You can find a trailer here. Occasionally he gets invitations to become involved with gaming projects, and he has additional movie prospects in the works. Thanks to Deathlok for the tip.
LOAF noticed that William Forstchen's Official Site is now reporting on the status of his latest novel, Gettysburg. New York Times and Wall Street Journal have ranked the book #12 and #9 on their Hardback Fiction Best Seller lists. Gettysburg also reached #1 in the hardback fiction alternate history section at Amazon. It's also nice to see that his front page highlights three books, one of which is Wing Commander False Colors. Following that link points to an Amazon.com link that indicates the product is still in stock and more are on the way. Perhaps the book recently got another printing. I'd be curious to see if a copy bought today still has a spot on the cover advertising the "upcoming" Wing Commander movie.
