An Ancient Mark Hamill Interview Share on Bluesky Share on Facebook Share on Twitter

Twister dug this one up. In 1997 TheSite interviewed Mark Hamill. He mostly talked about Wing Commander and interactive movies in general. Here's an excerpt:
We learned so much while we were making Wing Commander III, even while we were having this telephone conversation, new technologies, new breakthroughs are happening. So that it's almost impossible to keep up with the pace of how this thing is growing. So, it's fascinating to me, really fascinating.
You can read the lengthy interview or listen to it in RealAudio.

Starlancer Takes on Tachyon: The Fringe Share on Bluesky Share on Facebook Share on Twitter

The author of this article decided to do something original, and started off with a Wing Commander mention:

The space shooter genre started on the PC a mere 10 years ago with Wing Commander. Today's space shooters remain remarkably similar to Wing Commander in many respects. But if you've been a gamer for long, the one thing we all yearn for is originality. Who is the new king of the space shooters? After some serious scrutiny in simulated space, I think I found out.
Tachyon won the fight, but having played both I can safely say Wing Commander still dominates the scene. Thanks to WildFire-.

New 'Virus Weapon' Worries Police Share on Bluesky Share on Facebook Share on Twitter

Gwyn Cannar reports. Law enforcement agencies are expressing concern at the commercial release of a totally new type of weapon. Known as the BSE (Binary Systen Eradicator), it is a high-level computer virus that can disable all a craft's systems within seconds. It is transmitted along with the attacking ship's ID to the victim, and once assimilated into the target's computer it goes haywire, instituting emergency shutdown procedures for all the ship's systems. Police worry that this will be the perfect weapon for pirates to trap wary merchants.
