Video Games Reviews Wing Commander (May 21, 2017)

[Bandit LOAF]

Let’s close out the week with two more vintage reviews. These are from the difficult-to-Google VideoGames magazine, which covered console gaming in the 1990s. The November 1993 issue (pictured with cover) gave a positive review to Wing Commander: The Secret Missions for the SNES, while the July 1995 issue praised Wing Commander III for the 3DO.

That Darth Vader cover is *terrific*.

I like how on the second page they mistakenly turned the Graviton weapon into a Death Star with the erroneous saying, "...which can vaporize an entire planet!"

Did they even play (or just eject through) the first couple missions or did they just read the press kit notes? The cutscenes and the aforementioned briefings explain exactly what happens in a few short missions.
