BREAKING NEWS: Wing Commander Arrives On GameTap

Very exciting early morning news from mEISdAVIDp: the original DOS Wing Commander has been added to the GameTap service! The game is currently available as a week-early 'Easter Egg'. It can be found by searching for "Tiger Claw", which brings up not only the ability to play the game in modern Windows but also gives access to some detailed information about its history. This release comes as a big surprise all around -- hopefully the promised addition of Privateer to the service is getting closer...
