Wing Commander *Sigh*

    Most people who originally came to this site were Wing Commander fans, mainly because Chris Roberts who was lead in the WC games founded Digital Anvil after he left Origin. Anywho, I never got to play WC1 or 2 but managed to come to the party for 3, 4 and Prophecy. Though I´d say many would disagree that 4 was the best, I´d have to say I enjoyed that one the most. Story wise it was the best one I played IMHO, the intrigue involved with Tolwyn and the Black Lance was very enjoyable.

    *Sheepish grin* Oh yeah, forgot about the whole Roberts deal...<img src=smilies/icon_smile_blush.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> I guess I missed out on WC IV, although I could venture to say you may have missed out on 2. WC2 has a really good story and twists pertaining murders and sabotages. Plus, that´s when Blair finally gets redeemed after the loss of the Tiger´s Claw.

    the WC series is one of the best...my IV cd´s are damaged <img src=smilies/icon_smile_sad.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> but luckily I still got prophecy...my joystick is busted tho...so not much playing to do(dont like playing with the mouse) Privateer the darkening is what got me into gaming together with WC IV ...

    Do you think they ruined the saga by making a wing commander film.. As I approach the gates of heaven, St Peter I will tell, One more soldier reporting sir, I´ve served my time in hell.

    The problem with the film is simple, BAD ACTING, BAD EFFECTS. The Kilrathi look like they were made in the sixties. the only good thing is the Storyline As I approach the gates of heaven, St Peter I will tell, One more soldier reporting sir, I´ve served my time in hell.

    I´ve seen the movie. It´s definitely not A-List, but it´s a fun popcorn movie IMO. I´ll agree that the kilrathi look like crap. The WCIII costumes looked way better, and if I can recall, that game came out before the movie. Don´t worry though, as soon as I get a 100 million dollars or so I´ll produce a new one! Perhaps I could even recruit some of the TLR members for the cast! <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

    Another WC movie? With TLR posters as the cast? Interesting. I´m sure that Taw would come on board; he´s always wanted to be a Kilrathi (preferably Hobbes) <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>.

    For all Wing Commander (IV) lovers, comedy enthousiasts and basically anyone who loves reading, I want to recommend the following. <A href=´http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/7575/wc4.html´ Target=_Blank>Very funny alternate version of the WC IV: The Price of Freedom story!</a> It´s an alternate version of the entire Wing Commander IV: The Price of Freedom story. OMG, this story made me laugh so loud! <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> It´s a blend of the serious story of WC4, but in a more humorous way. It follows the same WCIV story with the same character, but also with some added ones from WCIII and added parts to the story and like I said, it´s still exiting and serious like the original story is in a way, but this humorous version is just a true diamond imo! Example: Remember the part in the beginning where Blair and Maniac fly a shuttle to Confed HQ and notice the TCS Victory? Well, here´s what happens next in the alternate story.... <font size=1 face="trebuchet ms"><BLOCKQUOTE><hr size=1 noshade>&quot;Hey, is that the Victory?&quot; I picked out her familiar silhouette against Saturn´s disk. Our old ship appeared to be in the same orbit as HQ, about a hundred thousand klicks ahead of it. She was surrounded by civilian shuttles and runabouts. &quot;Yeah, it´s an orbital museum now. A relic of the war, like some farmers I know.&quot; He looked at me mockingly. &quot;I´ll bet they have a plaque right over your bunk.&quot; Ha ha, very funny. Actually, I was wondering if they ever found that pile of used condoms behind the gunnery console, where Flint and I had most of our trysts. I didn´t want some kid in a school tour group to run across them. &quot;That reminds, me, Maniac. What did you ever do with that huge Playboy collection of yours?&quot; Maniac just smiled and pointed to the aft compartment. Next to my duffel bag were four more with magazine-shaped bulges. &quot;Travel light, don´t you?&quot; I asked sarcastically. He nodded, grinning proudly. <hr size=1 noshade></BLOCKQUOTE></font><font face=´trebuchet ms, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica´ size=2> Edited by - Eraser on 11/25/2004 4:28:32 AM

    Sounds great. Pity I haven´t played the game (Apart from the 1st episode of Secret Ops). Without it, the story would lose a lot of its charm <img src=smilies/icon_smile_sad.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> I have to find the game somewhere. Life is only given once ... and most often by accident

    The Sci-Fi channel ran the Wing Commander film last night. I guess (correctly i think) that it was based on the game, but having never played the game before, i wasn´t sure. Perhaps it was poorly made, but it had some classic sci-fi concepts that would make me go buy the game, to have half of them. I still think that a properly done freelancer movie would be excellent (amongst fans at least). <A href=´http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v322/sarafijdawg/legoguy.JPG´ Target=_Blank><img src=´http://img78.photobucket.com/a…2/sarafijdawg/legoguy.jpg ´></a>
