The Games Wing Commander I Wing Commander is placed on the all-time greats list of every gaming magazine, and probably of any gamer who has been active since the late 80s. Wing Commander was a revolution in style and pushed the limits of the hardware of the era. Why? First, let's remeber the context in which Wing Commander exploded onto the scene. In the late 80s few games had any Soundblaster support let alone an entire original musical soundtrack. Wing Commander was the first game to have real-time mood music. In other words, the type of music changed automatically as you played the game! The sound effects were also impressive; despite the weak 8-bit hardware around at the time, there was not a crackle to be heard. Wing Commander was the reason I patched my computer into my stereo receiver. If you played the game in the early 90s you can probably recall its impact. When I first installed Wing Commander I could see I was in for something new. The game opening, often a nod to the company, was no mere EGA title screen. It was an animated orchestra, complete with music and synchronized fireworks! This was a wow moment I would never forget. Wing Commander also had 256-color VGA graphics throughout the entire game! Even more astounding is that the game is action based! 256 colors would have been relatively easy to sustain in a game with static pictures, but not for a game of 3D action, with ray-traced scaling bitmaps! In other words, as you approach an object in space the object gets bigger while retaining its colors and scale. In fact, Wing Commander can claim so many PC game firsts that it took an industry wide move to Windows multimedia to finally produce a title competitor against it. Wing Commander threw down the gauntlet for the 1990s. Wing Commander II Wing Commander II was a profound milestone in interactive games. The full-screen opening movie, with synchronized speech, caused such a stir in 1991 people kept the game installed just to watch the opening! If you played this game in the early 1990s you might recall its impact. I've always felt the scene of the Kilrathi battle cruiser banking across the screen was one of the greatest graphic achievements of the day. Before Heart of the Tiger took the series into FMV and full 3D, and long before Prophecy topped off the space combat franchise of franchises with a whisper against the likes of Descent Freespace and X-Wing, Vengeance of the Kilrathi opened the door to a little heard of genre and the masses ran in drooling. Wing Commander II was engaging, dynamic, and full of life! It was everything its predecessor was, only better and more impacting. With its multiple upgrades, the title that was cool became the title that was awesome. For being so memorable, recognizable, enjoyable, polished and sweet, Wing Commander II easily earns its rank among classic games. WC II still placed emphasis on presentation - the elements that surround the gameplay and imbue it with meaning. WC II continued with the style of hand drawn characters, its unnamed character and unique space fighters. This time they added the ability of speech. It was during this time WC II rewarded PC gamers who had the coveted Sound Blaster. WC's tradition of elaborate launch sequences are still here and there is always the option of skipping them. The tradition of dynamic music makes its second installment and it is well conceived and composed. In this sequel, the intergalactic war between the Terran Confederation and the Kilrathi Empire continues but this time there are plot twists within the Confederation itself along with the introduction of stealth technology! WC II still has the neat missile tracking crosshairs since WC I but one of nicest additions to WC II, which also happens to be the most enjoyable moments in the game, is the replay camera which can be played back as a whole single mission. In addition, angles of the replay camera can be used to replay the torpedo runs or even missile cams! Although the replay cannot be rewinded, it is a nice touch for a game that was done to exploit its cinematic tone. Another feature I've always liked about WC II is its ship designs and the ability to use turrets on specific fighters and bombers. The ship designs are original and purposeful but not so much that they are unappealing. Each and every Wing Commander game was at the forefront of technology and innovative gameplay when they were released. Games today still rarely exceed the polish and production values associated with installments in the series. This is why Wing Commander fans around the world share a special bond. WC II exudes in a very well thought out single player experience that can't be beat. Note: My compatibility CD does not alter the retail game or bypass copy protection. It allows the original media to install and run correctly on any recent version of Windows. Powered by eBay Blackthorne 04.08.026
