I'll Buy That! Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

Jetlag has found that GameTap has released a 'commercial' advertising the original Wing Commander's addition to their service. A special video now plays while you're downloading the game (and at other points in the service). The voiceover narration they've come up with is especially cool... and very respectful towards the game!
Welcome to the war. The Confederation needs you. We've held off the bloodthirsty Kilrathi for some twenty years, but they are relentless. One pilot, one savior, could turn the tide of this entire conflict. Is it you? Play the space combat game that launched a thousand immitations: Wing Commander, coming to GameTap.
Fans of Origin's other big series will be interested to learn that each of the five available Ultima titles feature a brief video introduction by Richard Garriott himself. You can download the Wing Commander trailer here (1.1 mb, .WMV format).

UPDATE: GameTap Adds Blueprints! Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

Here's a quick update to report that GameTap has added the original Wing Commander blueprints to their supplemental materials for the game. You can download them here in PDF format. It's very impressive that they were able to do this so quickly... and during a holiday weekend, no less! It sounds like they are very interested in watching out for our best interests -- and that's a good feeling! What's more, all four blueprints are included, rather than just the one or two needed to bypass the copy protection.
