Time To Vote For Sites Of The Year Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

We've narrowed it down to seven choices for Fan Site and Fan Project of the year. Some sites received nominations in both categories, and unfortunately some very nice sites did not make it to this list. Everyone who maintains a Wing Commander site these days is doing the community a service, but for our purposes here we wanted to keep things manageable. And the nominees are..

Fan SitesFan Projects
BlackLance HQ
KillerWave's WC Page
Origin Museum
Task Force 16
Wing Commander Aces
Wing Commander in Russia
WingCenter.de
Battlegroup Serpent
HCl's WC Editing Site
Holding the Line
Kilrathi Empire ORPG
Unknown Enemy
Vega Strike
Wing Commander Standoff
Everyone is allowed to vote for one Site and one Project. And to those that were nominated, we've noticed that sites that put up a note/link about their nomination tend to net a few more votes. Rather that place restrictions on other sites' contents, we just wanted to make everyone equally aware of this. We'll be closing the polls in about one week. Vote now!

At Least You Don't Need To Upgrade Soon Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

Gaming-Age made a birthday tribute to Doom on its ninth birthday this month and credited it among just a few titles that forced people to upgrade their computers en masse. It's always cool to see Wing Commander get its proper honors.
While Wolfenstein 3-D was a monster hit and firmly established id as a player in the action gaming genre, it was Doom that annihilated everything that came before it and set the standard for years to come. Consumers would race to upgrade their PCs or purchase new ones just to be able to play it one of the few titles other than Wing Commander and 7th Guest to do so.
While on the subject, I have been upgrading my GBA in anticipation of Prophecy. If you took all the hardware I have and crammed it together, you'd get about a $400 GBA ($50-100 GBA, $40 Afterburner, $80 TV Converter, $70 TV Tuner, $50 e-reader and Cube link, $40 game/case, $40 Wormcam). It can't all be used together unfortunately, but it sure looks cool. I'm ready, are you?

Old GameSpot Poll Results Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

During the Fourth Birthday shuffle of August we reported on GameSpot's poll, but never presented the results. This is as close to a final count as we were able to get.

"Which of these classic game series would you most like to see revived?
The Ancient Art of War 202 (3%)
Descent 526 (9%)
Jagged Alliance 347 (6%)
King´s Quest 886 (15%)
Star Control 423 (7%)
Wing Commander 1391 (24%)
X-COM 1187 (21%)
Other 822 (14%)
Wing Commander took the largest chunk of the pie, and sci-fi games took more than half of the votes.
