Fan Mod Adds Full Speech to Wing Commander 1!

We've got great news to share today. Destro's fan project to add complete voiceovers to the original Wing Commander is complete and ready to release! He's managed to carefully map the speech files from the fully voiced Mega/Sega CD edition of the game and patch them over top of the familiar PC edition. While this fully voiced version of the game has existed for three decades, relatively few people have heard it due to the semi-obscurity of this console port. That's what makes this project so special!

The mod is specifically designed to work with the WCDX enhanced version of WC1 in Windows, and detailed instructions on how to get all that set up are available at the CIC Forums. We've mirrored the version 0.81 main file (342 meg zip) to make sure a permanent archive is available. All other necessary files are linked from this post. The reviews from fans so far have been fantastic, and what I've seen has been very impressive! Cutscenes, Tiger's Claw conversations and in-flight comms have all been combined and upgraded with authentic spoken audio in a way that's never been possible before. Destro considers this to still be a beta that could use some playtesting, but it should generally have everything in place. Give it a try and let everyone know what you think!

The wait is finally over! Wing Loader is done and ready for release!!!! Now all the Sega CD audio files are usable in Wing Commander 1 (KS Edition), this includes all the in-flight comms as well! There are some general script tidying to do and testing, as I haven't gone through and just did a whole playthrough yet, so I know that I missed a few things along the way. It is still a Work In Progress or a Beta and I won't consider it complete until it's thoroughly tested, but I think it's stable and complete enough to play and enjoy. Fingers crossed. :p
