I can remember playing Wing Commander 1, 20 or so years ago. One of the early missions requires you to escort some freighter. I wasn't really taking the mission too seriously; it didn't seem like Kilrathi was much of a threat to the freighter. I moved in real close to an enemy ship just as it launched a missile at the vessel I was protecting. I had never seen visuals so detailed at that time. The missile dropped right out of the enemy ship, blasting exhaust behind it as it rocketed towards the freighter. The freighter lost all shields and a good bit of its hull on impact. That was when things got real. I'm looking forward to experiencing the Wing Commander 1 story again, and all of the other WC games after it.
