Catch Up On Your Moldy Oldies Share on Bluesky Share on Facebook Share on Twitter

Here's an unusual 'top ten' (actually 21) list. Crispy Gamer has posted an article celebrating Gaming's 21 Greatest Old People. I've never heard of some of these guys, but our very own Admiral Tolwyn made the list at number nine. Check out the full list here.
Notes: Tolwyn was originally merely a cartoon of an old guy. But in the later, full-motion-video iterations of the game, decorated thespian Malcolm McDowell stepped into the role to lend gravitas to lines like, "Mankind was at his zenith when fighting the Kilrathi."

Making the Game: Weapon Stats Confed Share on Bluesky Share on Facebook Share on Twitter

You must have known this was coming: proposed weapons specifications for Wing Commander Prophecy's Confed ships. There are a number of interesting things here which didn't make it into the final game, including an EMP anti-turret gun for fighters and a "Vertical Launch Cell" missile for capital ships. The latter sounds like something straight from the pages of early-1990s Aces Club fan fiction...

These updates are thanks to John "Captain Johnny" Guentzel, who provided several CD image archives of material used by the Wing Commander Prophecy development team!
