Wing Commander™ 1+2

Classic, This game taught me the word bastard :) I just ordered a joystick for this game alone!

These are definitely classics but it's hard to get as excited about the gameplay after more advanced space combat engines were released. I think one of my fondest memories was of blowing up a Kilrathi carrier you were supposed to scout with a Hornet in one of the secret missions packs and then getting a mix of praise and being cussed out for not following orders on returning to home base. This was considerably cooler than X-Wing's approach which was to simply to rename the ironically named "Invincible," "Invincible 2," "Invincible 3" etc... when you blew it up on missions you weren't really supposed to.

This is so exciting. One of my personal favorite games is now easily available. The only down side is that it doesn't come with SM 1+2 or SO 1+2. Lets hope they fix that soon as that has some of the my favorite moments in the WC series.

Excellent: history, soundtrack and graphics. Playing Wing Commander with my cousin as copilot (keyboard) was one of the best gaming experiences I ever had. I hope The Secret Missions add-on will come soon.

If you like Space Sims, you probably already know Wing Commander. If you don't, then you should look into it, because this realy is the stuff of Legend. Even if the gameplay has aged a bit, the story itself is worth one or two playthroughs. Pity they didn't seem to include the four expansions, as they are preety rare and probably most of the players (even the older ones) hadn't had the opportunity to try them out. Even though it was kind of a missed opportunity, don't let it keep you from buying this wonderful games.
