    Long time visitor first time poster

    Welcome, definitely pick up a joystick. You could try using the mouse to fly, which may or may not be better than keyboard.

    New Game

    This thread has generated some good ideas and discussion. Wingmen In Wing Commander (1-2) you could pretty much guarantee how your wingmen would interpret your orders. I.e. Asking Spirit to form on your wing in the middle of a fire fight and she obey's, whilst Maniac just ignores your...

    (video) Wing Commander 0 - Wing 0 mini game - System Shock

    Nice stuff and a surprise to see such a mini game. I guess developers had more time on their hands back in the day. ;) I wish you good luck with getting past the last mission!

    Hi Jamie, welcome. I'd be interested to know a bit about your back catalogue from your 20 years of coding and design.

    STEAM Friends list

    http://steamcommunity.com/id/themudpig/ I picked up the three of them some time ago in a sale, and true to the steam way of life have not played much of them if at all. Though if you'd like some cannon fodder, I'd be game for a co-op game.

    Best Joystick for $40 or less?

    I used a Saitek/Mad Catz Cyborg Fly 5, which I picked up about 4 years ago for just under £40. It's a good stick, which served me well for a few years. The only niggle is if you push the stick all the way forward, it can tip forward if you apply too much pressure. It's a small niggle though...

    Is SWC harder than WC1?

    When I first played WC I always struggled with that mission. Especially with the Ace. Happy to hear you beat it. The losing path certainly does up the difficulty. I've not had the pleasure of playing the 3DO, though I do remember the SNES version being much more difficult for me than the PC...

    Wing Commander 3 Save Game Files

    Callsign doesn't matter in WC3. I checked the save game path as suggested and verified in game too. All OK. Then I noticed the date of one file; I don't know how I did it but I managed to backup the WSG_NDX.WSG which is older than any of the save game files, therefore no reference to the...

    Wing Commander 3 Save Game Files

    Hello, I tried to back up and restore my save game files. I have failed my race. I backed up the incremental .WSG files in the DATA folder and the WSG_NDX.WSG file in the root folder (also tried DATA). Restoring these files to a fresh install, the saves do not appear in the game. Is there...

    Elite: Dangerous

    I need to spend some more time in this. I played a for a while back in Beta, but then drifted away from it. I recently played last week for a few hours and pirated my way to some quick cash with illegal goods missions.

    Classic Star Trek Adventure on GOG

    I remember playing judgement rights and 25th. I also remember needing a guide to get through some bizarre dialogue choices. Don't ever remember competing either. Adding to their ST arsenal Starfleet Command is the most recent entry. I eagerly look forward to being blown up by pirate's and...

    WC1 Demo including Source Code ???

    That would just be the headers for all the functions, unless some specific algorithms are in there, and can be easily recreated if so. Only one way to find out though... Yup, lots of function's and variable's missing from the code. Hopes, dashed... :(

    Cool find. Does it compile?

    Descent: Underground - Oldschool PC Gamers Unite - Kickstarter Ends April 10th 2015!

    I asked for descent freespace to make a come back. I did not expect them to come up with a silly board game idea.

    Wing Commander Toolbox

    Awesome stuff. It would be great to see someone create a campaign editor, or own expansion with this.

    Complete WC GOG fixes and tweaks

    Does the P2 patch look for registry entries by chance? I re-installed windows, but had P2 installed to a seperate drive. Now it just wont load. Fixed the issue by looking at DARK.FIX and changing the first two entries to from C to D. In addition, having had a quick play through, pressing the...
