Rousing Roland Sound Recorded

Mau1wurf1977 recently recorded a series of videos that show off the beautiful Roland MT-32 audio of the original Wing Commander. The authentic MT-32 hardware that played the WC1 music in its highest quality has always been a little hard to come by, and only recently have attempts to emulate it started to pan out. If you're one of the majority of players that only used a SoundBlaster, give these YouTubes a listen!

I have several Roland MIDI modules and recorded all the tunes from Wing Commander in the highest quality possible.

Standoff Guide Hitting Episode 5

The Wing Commander Standoff Guide now available on WCPedia continues to grow. The project was originally started by Standoff team member Dundradal as a playtester's tool. After far too long on Dundradal's hard drive, the Standoff team made the resource available through the WCPedia project for the CIC's last birthday. Since then Wingnut and Standoff videomaker Ilanin has been a major contributor to the project. He's started work on the Episode 5 missions as well as updating and correcting the original text. The guide is well on its way to becoming the authoritative source for the Wing Commander Secret Ops mod. Be sure to check it out and visit the Chatzone thread to lend a hand!
