Description
It's time for a new generation of pilots to take the helm!

After the Border Worlds conflict of Wing Commander 4, the galaxy breathes a sigh of relief for peace has come at last. The hero of the Confederation, Colonel Chris Blair, decides to transfer to the Naval Forces. The Confederation decides its time to retire some of the old guard to make room for new hotshot pilots. Lance Casey and his best friend Max Garrett are fresh-from-the-Academy rookies looking to make their mark on the TCS Midway. Just as they are getting comfortable, a distress call from their former enemy, the Kilrathi, makes what would seem a routine mission into something else entirely...

Wing Commander 5: Prophecy is the last in a long line of classic space combat simulators. You'll take on the role of Lance Casey as he performs dangerous missions for the Confederacy while on assignment on the TCS Midway. Engage in conversation via glorious late 90s FMV with your fellow crew mates. Match your wits and skill in space combat against an all-new alien threat whose coming was foretold by an ancient Kilrathi prophecy of the end of the universe. Arm yourself with a vast variety of death-dealing weaponry and fight back the enemy!

No resolution fix?

Would it be so incredibly difficult for GoG to work some kind of resolution fix into some of these older dos/win 95 titles? Was really looking forward to all these Wing Commander rereleases but 4 and 5 are unplayable on my machine due to resolution bugs and no way to fix them.

wcp aspect ratio and in general

this is just horrendous why do i have to deal with this, running the game streched on 16:9 (or for that matter anything else ..) when all i want is to play this game. do not get me wrong but what i expect from your part, since you call it gog, is to create an installer that will make the game work. acting as if 4:3 equals 16:9 wont dop the job and i am out.

Save your cash - one of the worst ever!

Chris Roberts in an interview with Computer Gaming world demonstrated his pure arrogance, claiming Wing Commander was the best game ever. It also demonstrated how little he knew about gaming. Wing Commander Prophecy would be ok as a movie, but as a game, no. First off, you cannot map the controls to a space combat game? What good is me having a controller if to use afterburners, I have to released the controller to hold Tab down. I have a ton of buttons and cannot use them? Also, the game cheats. Big time cheating. On the second mission, outnumbered like 4-1 by the enemy,. which should not be that early in a game, I shot the enemy fighter and counted 24 hits, and all within a few moments, and he still was flying around like invincible, and this was on the second-easiest setting. I died 14 times without ever completing it. Oh, the other NPC pilots were downing fighters with a few hits, but not me. This has to be not only the worst Wing Commander game ever (and WC4 was horrid), but one of the worst space combat games of all time. Save your money.
