Save Earth in Wing Commander Standoff

With yesterday's release of Wing Commander: Saga, we should also remind Wingnuts of the other great fan mods. Wing Commander Standoff, which finished its five episode release in August 2009, is a mod built on a heavily modified version of Wing Commander Secret Ops. Whereas Saga looks at the events following the Earth Defense Campaign and preceding Wing Commander III, Standoff looks at the Earth Defense Campaign itself from the end of the False Armistice to the Battles of Warsaw and Sirius, and the epic conclusions near Mars and Earth. So after you've enjoyed Saga be sure to also check out Standoff, if you haven't already!

Wingnuts can download both a Windows and Mac OS X version of Standoff from their Download page.

But Wait, There's More!

Wingnuts not only have Saga and Standoff to choose from for fan mods. Over the years, several other fan projects were also completed. Make sure to also check out Unknown Enemy. Unknown Enemy is a fan mod of Secret Ops that takes place during the Nephilim Conflict.

Resident Rocket Scientist, eddieb, continues to work on Flight Commander, a moddable Wing Commander-inspired space combat simulator. There are a number of ongoing Flight Commander projects.

Avacar continues to work on Wing Commander TacOps. Gamers should be sure to drop by their forum as new games recently started. Interested users should download the manual from the TacOps website.

There's also ASCII Sector. It started out as a Privateer-inspired game but has moved beyond those aspects. It uses ASCII as a base for gamers to travel through a world still clearly inspired by its Wing Commander roots.
