Conquer the Universe!

Wing Commander: Armada, a unique entry in the all-time favorite space combat sim series, mixing in many strategic elements and adding multi-player, is available on GOG.com, for only $5.99.

The life of a seasoned starfighter pilot isn't all glory and adventure. After years of following orders and losing ships and friends, you are now the sole commander, responsible for heading up a momentous strike against your enemy's homeland - either the Empire of Kilrath or the heart of the Confederation. This war requires real strategy, not just hotshot piloting, and you have to determine where to fight, how to fight, and what ships will get the job done. In Wing Commander Armada, you have the freedom to build your own universe, your own missions, and your own campaign.

Wing Commander: Armada is one of the first games in the classic series, known for taking many innovative steps which made it unpopular with some of the old fans, but moved the whole Wing Commander universe whole parsecs ahead. With a new 3D rendering engine, multiplayer modes, and some crafts that were going to become iconic for the whole series, this oldie is a must have for every single Wing Commander fan and classic games collector.

Explore and conquer one procedurally-generated universe after another, participate in dogfights, mine and fortify planets, and do all those thing no other game in this series allows in Wing Commander: Armada, for only $5.99 on GOG.com.

dirtyharry50: Wonderful release today! I'm very pleased to see the final installment that was missing here now. I do wish it launched as a Mac title too but maybe that will come later on hopefully. Hint! hint!

I'd kinda like to see Rogue Spear appear sometime soon. That would be quite nice if it is possible.

Aren't we wonderful? We get a fantastic classic release and immediately return to harping on you guys about the other games we still want. lol

rampancy: It's a DOS game (no Windows version), so there's no reason why you couldn't install it in a Wineskin bottle and import it into Boxer, like with Academy. According to the WINE AppDB, Prophecy should work well in WINE too.
Yes this is true but I like when GOG does it for me. :D

By the way, I am glad to hear that about Prophecy. I hadn't looked that up yet to see how it works with Wine.

Last bullet item on the game card says...

"Live life on the edge as a topnotch Terran or Kilrathi pilot and fly up to 10 different"...

10 different what? Fly on 10 different airlines? 10 different hot air balloons? Choosy customers GOTS to know!
Hmm, not as many posts I might expect from a Wing Commander release. Maybe it's one of the "meh" games in the series.

"Live life on the edge as a topnotch Terran or Kilrathi pilot and fly up to 10 different ships!"

"Ships" is on a separate line. You sure you didn't just miss that?

Ah, they fixed the gamecard! I even checked the raw HTML and the last word was originally "different".
