Hi All, I'm Ragark Dai Thrak, I'm a young Kirathi here on the forums and please forgive me if this isn't the right place for this post . I knew about WC by playing "Privateer Gold" once, but I don't know anything about the other games. I also watched the movie DVD, it was a little unfair with the Kilrathi, but it was a great movie anyway. Could you people tell me if there is a Wing Commander game where I can play as a Kilrathi? Which game Should I start? Which is the greatest game of all? I find this universe very excitement and I want to learn from the experts, that's why I'm here asking ;)

Honor and Glory,

Ragark Dai Thrak

P.S. : Please forgive my strange english, I'm just learning terran :p
 
Welcome to the forums.

This page will give you lots of information about Wing Commander. https://www.wcnews.com/background/
It was made for people who are new to the series.

You can play as the Kilrathi in Armada and Arena. You can also play as a human flying Kilrathi fighters in a few other games.

Different people like different games the best so I couldn’t tell you which one you will enjoy the most. My personal favorite is the original one, but that is probably partly because it was the first one I every played.
Prophecy and Secret Ops have the best graphics. Wing Commander 4 has the most elaborate story.

As Blaster said Armada and Arena are the only games where you can play the Kilrathi at your choice. Considering what you are asking Armada is the one that would fit what you are asking. It's not like the main releases, but it's the closest you are going to get what you are asking.

If you are planning on getting all the games then there is only one place to start. The beginning. Wing Commander then play through the games in release order.
 
Ah, a fellow Kil, welcome!

Normally you should beware of monkey trickery but the advice given here can be trusted. ;)

A small add-on: in Wing Commander Prophecy, you can fly two Kilrathi ships in the simulator by using a cheat code but they don't have their own cockpit graphics.

It's hard to say which WC game is the best, just as was posted. Overall, my favourites are WC 1 and 2, my least favourite is WC 3 (also because of what they did to the proud Kilrathi people in that game) and the most fun gameplay for me had WCP and its follow-up, Secret Operations. But they all have special highlights, unique to them.

Thanks my takhar as soon as I figure out how to install a DOS game which is suppoused to be on floppy disks :rolleyes:, I will try all the WC games, but I need also to find the way to convince myself to play as a terran and fire at my Hrai takhars without remorse, wich I find very hard to do :p
 
Both ebay and Half.com are great places to look for old WC games.

Armada is a great online multiplayer game that more people need to check out.
