WC Saga Demo? Not Quite Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

Tolwyn of WC Saga fame brought to our attention their April Fools joke from this year. We tend not to report on these jokes unless they're our own or we've been fooled ourselves, but this one is different. At the time, the Saga team released what they claimed to be the demo for the mod. It was of course not the demo, but it was something of an early preview for the mod.

The "demo" contains the first mission you fly off the Lexington in WC4, recreated in the Freespace engine. The second mission is an original design, and contains some very strange dialogue between some Kilrathi pilots. Sadly we ran out of time to play so there may well be more surprises in store, but we'll leave those for you to find. You can download the WC Saga April Fools joke demo (104MB!) here. The download is so big because it contains the original Freespace 2 demo which is required to run the mod, and also a WC Saga trailer. Don't forget to read the readme.txt file contained within for installation instructions.

Penny Arcade Expo Held This Weekend Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

The Penny Arcade guys are holding a multipurpose gaming convention this weekend. JustinS, Hades and I will be there on Sunday. Send us an email if you plan to attend and want to hang out. If you're in Western Washington in the US, it's only $15 for a one day pass and there'll be tournaments, movies, guests and a lot of new games for show. I'd like to see more of Ghost Recon 2 and Halo 2. Last year at their first gathering, we showed the PA guys what Prophecy Advance was all about. They've had a passing interest in Wing Commander for quite a while.
