Description

Box Back Cover

A Stand-Alone Game — No previous Wing Commander experience necessary.

As a student at the TCSN Academy, you custom-design and fly unique combat, rescue, and search and retrieval missions from the CyberSchool's holographic simulator. In the Wing Commander tradition, the game features a dynamic musical score, improved bit-mapped graphics, and a dazzling array of customizing options. But Wing Commander Academy is not another cinematic extravaganza — it's an intense dogfighting marathon.

Custom-design a variety of missions that match your skill level as you place fighters, capital ships, mine fields, asteroid fields, data pods and ejected pilots - up to 10 in each of the four action spheres.

Save up to 24 games to disk and trade with your friends or upload them to bulletin boards to challenge others.

Request random missions where each action sphere yields an unknown number of enemy ships with pilots of varying skill levels.

Climb into the cockpits of the new Confederation Wraith or Kilrathi Jrathek fighters for a new combat experience.

Select a cybernet wingman — from a frightened cadet to a hotshot veteran.

Fly from the cockpit or try the chase plane view for a new perspective on the intense dogfighting action.

Sharpen your combat skills as you compete for high-point honors.

Engage the "Gauntlet" - a dogfighting marathon with 15 progressively difficult levels of attacking ships - including three flights of fighters in each level.
