Nintendon’t Podcast Covers the Music of Wing Commander (November 12, 2024)

[ChrisReid]

Today we're sharing a podcast that Mat Bradley-Tschirgi created and sent over way back in 2016. Look, it's been a rough eight years, and we're a little behind. Better late than never though, since this is a great episode that you should definitely check out. He's assembled a medley of tracks that does an excellent job of taking you on an aural journey through the series. You've got music from WC1-4, the Privateers and even Cobalt 60's techno Prophecy album. There's also an intro and conclusion that set the stage and give a little bit more context. Give it a listen at the KBOO website here!

Air date: Sat, 12/03/2016 - 9:00am to 9:30am

Combining the earnest plots of World War 2 films with an original sci-fi setting inspired by Star Trek and Star Wars, the Wing Commander games were a load of space sim fun. The Terran Confederation waged a years long battle against the evil feline Kilrathi alien race. Wing Commander’s music is equal parts bold, brassy, and tense.

So, climb into your spaceship and prepare for takeoff. It's time to listen to some of classic tracks from the Wing Commander computer games.

• Patrol - Wing Commander (PC) (George “The Fat Man” Sanger)
• Thrakhath - Wing Commander II: Vengeance of the Kilrathi (PC) (Dana Karl Glover)
