    Capital ships dissappearing WC1?

    Hey all! A question for all you PC-owners and Wing Commander (1). I played it on my Commodore Amiga 500 and I experienced something that I never learned was a bug or simply a sign that the Amiga 500 didn't have enough system resources. In missions involving drayman-transports or Ralari...

    Was the medal of valor cut from the Amiga (non-CD32) version?

    Something occurred to me recently: In all my many replays of Wing Commander since I got it on the Amiga 500 I do not remember ever being awarded the Terran Confederation of Valor. Since so many other things were cut from the Amiga version I have to ask if the medal was cut from the game as...

    Wing Commander on the Amiga 500

    I don't know how many of you played WC on the Amiga 500 (like I did), but to show how it was I put together a video on the first McAulife mission on an emulated Amiga 500. The amiga 500 had a 7½ Mhz CPU, 512kb RAM and no harddrive (as standard anyways) which meant you had to switch the three...

    Starfield

    Just a brief post: I can recommend Starfield to scratch that Privateer itch. It's not Star Citizen though neither is Star Citizen. It's not overly complicated and a good way to spend your gaming hours.

    A bunch of video review/previews of WC

    I stumbled across a Youtube channel named fmvgamer2010 who has a brickload of videos from the 90's gaming scene. More to the point he has several videos from a defunct CD-rom magazine called "Interactive Enterteinment" who made video reviews/previews in the mid 90's. Among the videos were...

    Is it just me..

    ..or does the Nova Corps badge (Guardians of the Galaxy game) look like the Terran Confederation symbol? Not 100% identical obviously but enough for me not to be able to un-see it.

    The game "Chorus", Freelancer & Descent mix

    Just a tip for anyone thats interested in a light arcade-y game: "Chorus" was released in Dec 2021 and it went (for me) unnoticed until now. It's definetly not a Wing Commander game but more visually beautiful Freelancer mixed with a bit of Descent (the first game, not the flight-sim). You get...

    Chris Roberts talks about his dream game in 1995

    Sorry of this has been posted before but I found this little Chris Roberts tidbit in Computer Gaming World May 1995 issue. Chris Roberts is asked "What kind of game would you create if there were no hardware or financial constraints on creativity?"

    A WC2 preview from 1991 (Computer Games Strategy Plus)

    Thanks to archive.org and a rather slow day at home I found a preview for Wing Commander 2 and it's speech-pack in the December 1991 issue (nr.13) of "Computer Games Strategy Plus".

    I tried the newly released Everspace 2 Demo

    I know some of you have also had your eyes on the game. for some time. I'm no reviewer so to make it brief: The game right now (in Alpha-stage) is a very VERY arcade-y game. It feels like Freelancer with powerups and floating combat text. Thats not necessarily a bad thing but for me it's not a...

    I think I found an actor to play Tolwyn in a WC-prequel.

    Whaddaya think? He's a natural! No CGI there! :D This is of course the son of Malcom McDowell and Mary Steenburgen: Charlie McDowell (b.1983). In all seriousness he would have been perfect for the role..:) Or...If they make a WC-sequel he could play the son/grandson of Admiral Tolwy, now a...

    A 1988 interview with Richard Garriott with a C. Roberts cameo

    Stumbled upon a four-page article featuring an interview with (mainly) Richard Garriott but also input from Chris Roberts about the Ultima V and Times of Lore games. The article was featured in "Amiga Computing" magazine, December issue (nr.7), 1988. Enjoy!

    A potpurri of small mentionings of WC in CGW from 1990-1995'ish

    Did some browsing of old issues of Computer Gaming World (CGW) over on archive.org and found some interesting snippets concerning Wing Commander, Chris Roberts and Origin between October 1990 (issue 75) to around august 1995. Not the straight up WC-game reviews mind you but the much less...

    "Conversations with a Kitty Killer" (1995 interview with C.R)

    Was browsing through an old issue of Computer Gaming World (issue number 132) and found a very brief interview from July 1995 with Chris Roberts. Not a very deep interview but still interesting :)

    First Wing Commander game, Naval and Army ranks....

    Sorry for often asked question, but...reasons! The WC games features pilot ranks accordingly: 2nd LT, 1st LT, Captain, Major, LT Colonel and Colonel. However, In Wing Commander Prophecy, Blair is a Commodore..Which is, as I understand it, a Navy rank. So with that in mind: What branch of the...

    Definition of "Genetic Enhancement Program"

    Hey all! I'm always trying to find new storylines for a potential novel/short story. BUT! One of those stories may involve the "Genetic Enhancement Program" which I dont know much about. I need some more info before I begin writing since I havent read all the other WC fiction (official or...

    Is it at all possible to fan-make/remake/mod a WC multiplayer game?

    A long time ago I read somewhere, (probably on this site), a comment about the first Wing Commander game. I dont remember the exact quote but it went something like this with regards to the lack of Multiplayer in WC: "How long would the Kilrathi Empire last if all the WC-players united against...
