    Check out the scans of WC1 demo sleeve, 5.25" for pc

    I said it on Reddit already but I'll say it again here: thank you very much for scanning this! (I've never seen the 3.5" version, I'm not certain it exists!)

    A nostalgic revisit of the Gemini sector

    This looks great, I'm sorry I haven't been following it until now! We'll get a front page post up soon.

    PS1 vs PC versions of WC 3 & 4. Help!!

    The good: * Lots of small touches that weren't finished for the PC version were in the 3DO one, owing to it being the same team given extra time; so you have things like missing wild lines and music that wasn't there in the PC release * All of the cut newsbriefs and the Hobbes scene are included...

    Great Artists Steal, And So Did These Guys (October 3, 2026)

    Now we know what the Privateer NPCs have been doing in their spare time! BlueSky user ATMcashpoint recently noticed something interesting while watching a let's play video: some familiar faces! The game in question was German studio Motelsoft's 1995 "Escape from Ragor" and the faces in the...

    Endgame Reorchestrated (October 1, 2026)

    Here's a message from Wing Commander composer George Oldziey, who has a cool video of the Wing Commander 3 endgame alongside the newly orchestrated version he recorded a few years back. Pretty neat! George has done some truly incredible work orchestrating and recording his Wing Commander work...

    A Shaggy Drayman Story (September 30, 2026)

    Ever since No Man's Sky, the space game that continues to show up all other modern space games in terms of content and competence, released their corvette-building update there has been a steady dribble of people trying to recreate classic Wing Commander ships. And no one has been more active–or...

    Bid on Ginger's Pages (May 30, 2011)

    Wing Commander III and Prophecy actress Ginger Lynn Allen is selling two sets of her Wing Commander III script pages--the pages she used in the role, with her lines highlighted! Each auction includes an extremely cool signed photograph from the game's funeral scene--which also shows a uniformed...

    Wing Commander Movie Night: Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (September 28, 2026)

    Yes, it has a bunch of cosmetic changes but I think nothing too significant to the movie. If anyone has the theatrical version (I'm sure there's some effort to preserve it?) it should play just fine with everyone else. The changes are all like... CG Yoda instead of muppet one.

    PS1 vs PC versions of WC 3 & 4. Help!!

    I would say that in both cases the PC version is better than the Playstation one. For Wing Commander III, the Playstation version tries to be as close to as possible to the original and it gets bogged down a bit on that. The big change you might be interested in is that it has the videos that...

    False Colors, False Hopes (August 19, 2026)

    Join the Chair Force! (September 29, 2026)

    Back in the era of hand drawn animation, storyboard artists and animators would refer to model sheets to make sure things were consistent. With each act of each episode boarded and animated separately, that was necessary to keep things looking right: Maverick always looks like Maverick...

    What's in the Box? WC3 Edition (September 23, 2026)

    Here's a pretty neat video: it's from a segment from a game history YouTube channel named Floppy Deep Dive and it's a very careful uunboxing of a sealed copy of Wing Commander III. It certainly reminds me of Christmas morning 1994! Very cool to see classics like the Warbirds poster and Victory...

    Wing Commander Movie Night: Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (September 28, 2026)

    This week we're celebrating (just about) 100 weeks of the Wing Commander movie club… and to mark that event, we're watching a movie that had a pretty huge impact on the Wing Commander movie just by its existing alongside it: Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999). Whether you hated Jar...
