      I bought WIng commander blind and loved it, I was irrationally unhappy I didn’t have a hand to control the joystick (if you know, you know. 2 was another level again and my computer struggled, the spirit cutscene slowed to a slideshow unfortunately which killed the impact a bit.

      It was a while later when I walked into a store to see the opening cutscene for 3. I amazed and bought it straight away. I was unhappy with the spy reveal though, I loved that character and felt it wasted the them. The cutscenes were amazing for the time, I lost just to see the alternate cut scenes. If only they could’ve realised that vision in the movie.

      4 was ok but I the kilrathi.

    Isn’t that the guy from Star Wars?

    This is in reference to a blooper, right? I tried to find it on youtube, to no avail. If you have it somewhere, could you please share the link? Thanks!

    I remember one of them had Malcolm McDowell as Admiral Tolwin.

        Nice! I only played one of them. Whichever one has him say the line “The price of peace is eternal vigilance.” It’s been a loooong time but I remember that very cool quote.

    Always wanted to kill that dude, but then I’d get stranded. I think I usually got stuck at some point later but can’t remember where
