Wing Commander 2 Intro The Easy Way

Recently a few people have been requesting a video of the Wing Commander II introduction. It's just fortunate that there is already a video out there, but since it seems that it's not very well known, here's a reminder that it's out there. I feel nostalgic seeing it again and it's easier than trying to run the game itself. Besides that, with these fancy wavetable MIDI cards and the like, it's just not the same. You can download the video from our server here (33MB), but the original video comes from this site.

Rylex took a closer look at Plywood Fiend's original music video and noticed something a little odd that no doubt most people have never noticed. In the scene where Thrakhath kills Blair, he lifts Blair off of the ground. A closer inspection of the video reveals what appears to be a human hand giving Thrakhath a helping.. erm.. hand. That sneaky hand may be helping lift Blair up, or it may be preventing Blair from delivering a swift kick to the groin to the Prince.
