When I Was Seventeen...

We've had several inquiries about the pictures attached to yesterday's Pliers update. These were screen grabs taken way back in 1997 from Origin's Wing Commander IV Playstation website! Origin developed beautiful multimedia websites for Wing Commander IV PSX and Privateer 2... unfortunately, they're probably lost to the ages today -- but a few elements survive. These images are from a Java-based ship and weapons database. You can find the other screenshots (which I've been carrying from computer to computer over the years) in this update! The Wing Commander IV PSX website is also the source of Eisen's famous secret letter. This note established when Wing Commander IV occurred and is an elegant precursor to the amazing Secret Ops fiction.
