If it was something you bought commercially and played in the '90s, it's not lost. It may be slightly obscure, but as others have said, there's tons of games from that era and many are lesser known, but exist (just look at how much we're talking about "obscure" Wing Commander games of the '90s).If the game is lost or forgotten, maybe the game is really lost and abandoned?
Does Strike Commander has death cut-scenes? Strike Commander is very much similar to Wing Commander...I am still leaning towards Strike Commander.
