Wing Commander™ 1+2

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.

Wing Commander 1 started it all for me in my passion for space combat simulators, it was THE game I always enjoyed playing with no limit to the number of playthroughs I would complete for the sole purpose of flying the glorious A-14 Raptor. However to my dismay I had always wanted to go further: Playing all the other Wing Commanders, but with every rig I owned they would never work, leaving me only with Wing Commander 1. This changes it as it includes Vengeance of the Kilrathi, my dream is finally in motion and I certainly hope that it presses on with more WC titles entering the catalogue!

Finally I can buy Wing Commander 1 and 2 without paying Collector-Prices on ebay! Both games are absolute classics and i hope, that GOG will release the other Wing Commander-Games as well. Maybe if enough people buy them here, there will be a Wing Commander 6?^^

The first game blew my mind when I found out how many branching paths there were depending on how well you did on your missions. The second game is much like the first but is more narratively focused. The story was actually pretty good. Although I did run into more bugs in wing commander 2 (crashes, audio glitches where the wrong track plays. The mouse controls were very touchy for me as well so I mostly used spacebar instead of clicking) Another problem is the framerate when there are too many ships on the screen. In conclusion, I would recommend these game to anyone who likes classic space games, so long as you can stomach a few bugs.
