    Typo in ships for SWC Scimitar

    Theres a typo on ships for the swc scimitar - it says the scim has 4 HS and 6 DF missiles when in truth this is the other way round. - It's not just doubled from wc1! May not be a problem really given the pedia project - but if people take the info from there it might be :)

    Only one keypress recognised at once in wc1 and wc2

    Apologies if this should be in tech support really! I'm having a wierd problem where only one keypress is recognised by a game at a time - it's present in both wing commander 1 and 2, but is more irritating in wc1. Basically, in wing 1, if i'm firing and then start to angle the ship...

    SWC and SM1.5

    For those who don't know, it is quite possible to get SWC mac running in both Basilisk II (windows port) and Sheepsaver and the 3do version runs quite nicely in the latest alpha of FreeDO (available in the top link here: http://www.arts-union.ru/smf/index.php?topic=288.0) Both mac emulators...

    Ultimate Strategy Guide

    So inspired by the community replay (and only a year late!) and shades' script projects, I'm replaying wc1 but in the segacd version (oh yeah). I've coupled this with reading my two new acquisitions, the secrets of the WCU and the ultimate strategy guide. So, I play the Gimle 1 (a couple of...

    wca speech?

    This is liable to be deemed unsuitable topic since it involves me talking about piracy. I've recently downloaded a torrent of some old dos games - mostly because I've noticed the abandonware sites slowly dissapearing and because a lot of these games are now getting on for 20 years old...

    confed handbook

    probably been commented on before, but in the confed handbook, it claims that admiral wilson ( i think its him, might be wrong) was born in 2498 yet the current year is 2654! thus our man is 156 years old typing error me thinks btw with reference to the age old debate that the CS iason and the...
