Our Birthday Stuff Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

It's our first anniversary... and here's what's new.

From Hades and Chris comes a comprehensive game based index of Wing Commander's fighting spaceships. From A-Arrow to W-Wasp, they're all here... check it out.

From Hadrian we have a video of 3D Wing Commander 2 ships put to music -- it showcases some excellent modelling and rendering skills.

From Byydo comes a massive undertaking properly entitled Byydo's Happy Secret Thingie. I won't reveal its terrible secret outright, but can safely say that Wing Commander has finally taken its place among one of the staples of the Internet.

From Kolokov's diseased mind is born the sequel to the now deceased Kolokov's Wing Commander Site -- Kolokov's Starlancer and Freelancer Site. Expect Kolokov.Babes soon.

From ace, an exciting all new mailbag... keep sending letters, people.

And me? Well, I've decided to release the first part of the CIC's Wing Commander Timeline. This is the first of three segments, this one covering the pre-war era. I'm leaving to drive to UT tomorrow, and the second part (the war) will be posted when I return.

And there's also a cake...

AND SPECIAL THANKS TO...

Kevin Kwast: For maintaining our server and for not killing us when we want to do silly things.

Delance & Vanhecke: For helping Chris & Hades with their ship database.

Phoenix: For the beautiful graphics, which we have since bastardized.

Boomer & David Swofford: For answering our questions, no matter how annoying they were.

Neil Young: For helping us get the thing started in the first place.

Chris Roberts & Origin: For making the dashed game. And for making the next one.

Beth & ATFW: For all the support over the last year.

Johnny: Duh.

The Visitors: For not downloading too much stuff at once and ruining our server. And for visiting.

Trelane & Byydo: For being staff members but not knowing it.

AGWC: For giving us a place to argue about whether or not the movie is canon.

The Volunteer Chat Zone Moderators: For helping us keep the Chat Zone up and running.

Peter Telep: For keeping the fans in mind when writing his novels and for almost coming to the chat tonight.

Chris McCubbin: For keeping everybody in-the-know about the Handbook.

Dan from Dan's Wing Commander Movie Site: Not just for the limo. But yeah, mainly for the limo.

Jumpstart: For letting us use the Killer Bee's server.

And to Lanced.net: For making us look good. (Just kidding, we love you guys).

And The Rest: Are all here on CIC Isle... and deserve a big round of applause.

(And from this staff member to the rest, for being the best friends a guy could have).

Goodbye, Andrew Keith Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

Some very sad news. Author Andrew Keith, who co-wrote Heart of the Tiger and False Colors with William Forstchen, apparently died last Saturday. Long time visitors may remember Mr. Keith from an online chat he was kind enough to appear at for us -- he was intelligent and always very polite about answering our questions while we were waiting for False Colors to come out. He will be missed. (Please thank Diane for informing us of this news). His obituary, as it appeared in the August 8th Tribune Review follows.

J. Andrew Keith, 41, of Greensburg, died Saturday, August 7, 1999, in Westmoreland Regional Hospital, Greensburg. He was born on August 31, 1957, in Pittsburgh, a son of the late William H. and Dorothy Hultz Keith. He had been self-employed as a free-lance novelist. He is survived by his brother, William H. Keith, Jr. of Greensburg. There will be no public visitation. Private interment will take place at the St. Clair Cemetary, Greensburg. Barnhart Funeral Home, Greensburg, in charge of arrangements.

Hey, LOAF's Back Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

Hey, where'd LOAF go? He's been away for a while with some eye problems -- but he didn't have to have surgery, and he's back just in time for the anniversary.

The Big Day's Finally Here! Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

There's a couple News Updates we're going to try to put up throughout the first half of the day to separate them from the slew of Birthday Updates we're planning later on. So.. basically keep checking back, and we've done it to death, but we can't help but plug the Party one more time. We really do want it to be a fun event for as many as possible. Check here or here for the details. Have a nice day.

Kilrathi Saga Classic May Be on the Horizon Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

Angel Little reported this at alt.games.wing-commander this morning.
I just spoke to EA Direct today and I heard that a re-release of Kilrathi Saga could happen as soon as October. The guy I spoke to said that he gets at least 3-5 calls on the average a day himself with folks looking for KS and that a re-release under the Classics lineup would be more than likely for around $14.99. A re-release of WC4 could be likely as well under the Classics, so everyone if you even got KS and/or WC4 PLEASE call EA Direct and let them know that a re-release would be appriciated. 1-800-245-4525 but we all know that already, right?. :)
Now all we need are the DVD versions. :)
