A Brazilian Wing Commander Opera? Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

Delance was doing some random searches for Wing Commander and came across a Portuguese site devoted to "science fiction operas." Sounds pretty neat, huh? On further analysis and translation, opera is more like "role play" in this case. The people behind this site have translated quite a bit of Wing Commander history and backstory into Portuguese and formatted it in a starters guide for people engaging in their opera adaptions.

You can find out what they've done here.

New Space Sim's Similarities to Wing Commander Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

Guilherme Mesquita was checking out upcoming space sims and found X2 by EgoSoft. Aside for consistencies common among all space sims, he came across a couple screenshots that look like they could be straight out of Prophecy. The first shot below is from X2, but it might as well be a Triton in front of Kilrah in an asteroid belt. Nearly identical scenes are present throughout WCP. The next shot features some sort of capital ship escorted by fighters. The prominence of the bow and positioning of the bridge and escorts is very similar to the big inner flap display on the original Prophecy box. A picture of a Triton and the box flap are in third and fourth positions.

I actually made him quite mad at one point before escaping into the crowds. Who wouldn't be scared of a seven foot carrot with a gun, brown corduroys and a set of green flippers on?
