In the past, I would have voted for the "original" WC1 version. But looking back, he seems to be a bit of a Scottish caricature. I never liked the Hawaiian shirt, and he was a bit of a jerk in WC3. The SWC Eye Patch Paladin looks very cool, but I never played SWC so I can't vote for that...

I think that depends on whether they let J.J. Abrams write the next script... Seriously, I'm not aware of any canonical indications of Blair's fate... so as far as I know it's up to your imagination. He's most likely dead... whether the tower he was in gets sucked back through the wormhole or...

Remind me again... why were the videos left out of the PC version? Was it just a disc space issue? And why did they leave the Hobbes video specifically out? The newsbriefs all just add "flavor" or atmosphere to the story, but the Hobbes video is central to the main plot of the game. You'd...

One thing I've always found curious is why the movie decided to call the mainline fighter "Rapier" at all, if the intent was to make them, from a story standpoint, aging, decrepit fighters. The very first game of the series establishes that the Rapier is brand new and highly advanced, and while...

Don't know how many NFL fans frequent these forums, but I found this somewhat amusing. The Pittsburgh Steelers have progressed to the AFC championship game this season. Their three stars all have names that start with "B", and given that they wear black and yellow (and occasionally wear...

Actually, I think Freyers was my favorite voice acting performance. He had just the right touch of sarcasm and pessimism to be entertaining, yet he came across as genuine. Your Bradshaw was pretty good too, although maybe I'm just a fan of the accent. I think Squealer rounds out my top three...

I don't disagree with your point. I just don't think it's as bad as all that. Interestingly, I was just one such player. I had never read Fleet Action (or any of the WC novels) prior to playing Standoff. (In fact, playing Standoff is what inspired me to pick up Fleet Action, my first WC...

Thanks so much for finishing this! I've been hoping for it for a while. I hope that this is more than just something for archival purposes...I hope that it encourages more people to play the game. I've made no secret that I'm a big fan. Reasons to play Standoff: 1). If you never read the...

Yay! I actually just re-installed Standoff to give it another play through. (Side note--when you're three years out of practice, those early Gladii missions are HARD!) But I'd love to see a finalized package. It would be a great way to get some new folks into Wing Commander, as well.

Here's another that probably goes from WC to something else... Strakha to Centauri Vorchan-class cruiser (B5):

Here's one that goes the other way, probably... Salthi and Morningstar (Descent)

Thanks for the tips. I'll give it a try. I'm enduring the GOG default resolution videos so far (just made it to T'lan Meth). I assume the upgraded ones are superior? Or does GOG already have the greatest videos?

Hey all, I decided to give Prophecy a run through again, and since I'd never done so with the high res videos (even back in the day, I had the CD version with the interlaced videos, not the DVD version), I thought I'd give it a go. But I also wanted to use the new opengl graphics. Other...

Cool. It's fun to see what Arena actually looks like. I never played it because I've never owned an X-Box and it was never released for PC or PS, but it actually looks like a fun little game (although not space-simish at all...)

Wow! That's gorgeous!
