With the incredible success of ''[[Wing Commander]]'', Origin pioneered the concept of game expansions with the Secret Missions add-on disk. Fans of the first title in the series were treated to an intense campaign where the pilots of the ''[[Tiger's Claw]]'' were tasked with an important covert operation. A new [[Kilrathi]] superweapon was being tested aboard the ''[[KIS Sivar|Sivar]]'' Dreadnought. Although the ''Claw'' hurried in response to its distress call, the populous [[Goddard Colony]] was annihilated before help could arrive. The ''Claw'' was the only ship in position to penetrate deep behind enemy lines, pick apart the fleet that attacked Goddard and ultimately destroy the Kilrathi secret weapon. | |||

Children of the nineties such as myself may remember back when Nintendo Power was full of awful SNES game related comic strips... what you may have forgotten (or blocked from your mind) was that back then Wing Commander and The Secret Missions were Nintendo games! This comic is scanned from a 1992 issue of the magazine. Lost part of the Wing Commander canon or an excuse to stab your own eyes out and scream in terror? You decide!
