I honestly don't know the answer to that, but I'm sure LOAF will :) but as for having found both, if you can afford them - I'd grab them while you can. The titles are becoming more and more difficult to find.

I think original big box version is rarer, but I could be wrong. The deluxe edition I bought as a kid, albeit secondhand, was just a CD case. EDIT: Seems I'm wrong, there's a full big box WC2 deluxe also. If I were you I'd get whatever you can find as both will be scarce by now.

Leiji Matsumoto?

@Jetlag - you're insane! But thank you for this, it'd make a swell canvas print. Great work.

Also played on release - didn't the devs come to the CIC to plug the game? As @centaurianmudpig points out, the combat and general flight dynamics are rather special. It's all so smooth and in my opinion looks fantastic. If ever there was to be another attempt at a WC1 remake, this would...

I think the novels confirm that the rear turrets of the Thunderbolt and Longbow are manned. I remember Hobbes programming his ship's computer to fire the turret automatically. ...and Blair saying in The Price Of Freedom that as he tailed a Confed Longbow, he could see the gunner looking at him.

Congratulations. You've done well! As have @Jdawg and @Bandit LOAF - you're all fine looking couples.

To @Hunter_13 @David Wade and @Sylvester - thanks for everything. I always feel humbled in the presence of those who served, and even as a non-American can appreciate the time and dedication you've given towards the defense of our shared values. ...and Hunter is right, I signed up as a...

We'll be back, y'know.

Thanks, George - I'll check that out! Hahaha.

I'll play. I hope more people do too as it's nice to put faces to names and learn backstory :) As my username suggests, I'm Dan. I'm from the very far south-western tip of England. I'll also be 31 in a few months. my trade is genetics. I'm into retro gaming, sketching, hiking in the woods and...

Actually, not to derail this thread, but while you're here George, you don't happen to know what scene it is in Wing Commander III where you blended your email notification sound into the background music? You know the sound George, yes *that* one :)

By the lice of Thrakath's beard! It's George Oldziey! I have nothing to say other than thank you, George, you're quite the legend in these parts.

That IS brave!

Also, having only seen Episode VII the once so far, doesn't Kylo Ren say something along the lines of "Show me again, grandfather, the power of the dark side" - like he's in touch with Vader but not Anakin.

I've been thinking along the same lines, there's another LucasArts production where a certain voodoo lady repeatedly tells us 'true evil can never be destroyed' :) Joking aside, we know it's possible for those on the Dark side to still have 'good in them' - as seen with Vader in ROTJ, I think...

Dude, if you can't get the texture mod to work, at least consider finding the patch that allows you override the 640x480 maximum resolution thing. Looks good with original graphics at 1080p.

For me it's the pick of the bunch. Similar control system to the others, but a ton of new ships, better AI and every mission is packed with unique dialogue. It's very immersive. Rather than just being a rebel pilot, you start off as a privateer flying old Corellian craft, the story is engaging...

I've started playing X-Wing alliance again :) It's been so long; just wanted to fly a Corellian YT-1300 (like the 'Falcon) again. You know what's great about Star Wars? It doesn't conflict in any way with the Wing Commander Universe. In my head, both happened/will happen.

All good suggestions, never considered the idea of a Holo, but that would make sense. Perhaps a pre-recorded message that somehow helps to cause conflict within Kylo Ren upon hearing it. Or, as Capi suggests, a force ghost. I actually, even as a kid used to wonder if Solo was force sensitive. I...
