Otherwise, Treat With Caution

The November 1993 issue of Nintendo Magazine System contained a review of Wing Commander - The Secret Missions. It's probably one we could do without. The reviewer is snarky, to say the least. He gave the game a 64 overall, complaining the game "is less of a sequel to Wing Commander than a continuation of the original." Which is an interesting thought considering that's exactly what The Secret Missions was, a continuation of the original. The same magazine also contained a Mindscape ad that included the original Wing Commander SNES game.

We Chose To Go To The Moon

Today is the 43rd anniversary of the human race first landing on the Moon. Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin descended to the lunar surface in the Lunar Excursion Module while Michael Collins remained in orbit in the Command Module.

Wing Commander has a number of important lunar installations. Moonbase Tycho, the Vacuum Breathers bar, an anti-matter/matter production facility and a massive naval base, much of which was destroyed during the Earth Defense Campaign of 2668.
