Rather late to do one of these, but the Starlancer Arena has put up a preview of Warthog's upcoming space sim. It's a stereotypical fansite preview, and of course it mentions Wing Commander and Privateer a few times.
If a poll were taken to measure the most popular space sims ever made in history, the list would be smattered with the names that would include the Wing Commander and Privateer series of games. Set in the same universe, their popularity is unquestionable with such a multitude of follow up games ranging from the original all the way up to WC IV ; Prophecy, and the two Privateer games.You can find the article here. For once the screenshots are not too dark.
MegaGags, 'The Generals of Japery', present their latest guaranteed Mirth Maker to make a party go with a bang: the Virtual Victim. Basically a low-level cyborg, he looks just like any other Joe Average. He can make small talk, laugh, drink cocktails and eat canapes. And then, just when everyone is used to his presence... you can kill him! Shoot him with the supplied QuasiPistol, and see blood spirt out of one of his 10 fake wounds! Hit him over the head with a blunt instrument, and laugh as pseudobrains splatter over the host's expensive wall coverings! You'll laugh until you puke with the Virtual Victim, priced at only 579 credits. Also comes in Nun and Octogenarian (35 credit supplement).
