st3lt3k found a cool video of Wing Commander running on the Nintendo DS. SonataFanatica is running the game via the DSx86 program. Gameplay shifts between the upper and lower screens based on whether the touch-screen stylus is needed to navigate the Tiger's Claw or type on the keyboard. It sure looks like a lot of fun! Sonata remarks that performance is slow, but it's not a whole lot different than how many people played the game when it was new. A faster way to play on the go today is via the Playstation Portable and EA Replay. Check out the video here.
This is me running Wing Commander 1 on the Nintendo DS by using DSx86. It runs quite well, if a bit slowly. Sorry for the shaky footage - it was quite hard holding the cellphone in one hand and playing the game with the other. :)
