If I remember correctly Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker, Blair) did play in the Wing Commander movie. He provided the voice for the starfighter's onboard computer.
God I miss this game. It's rocked ass and the live action bits were awesome. Mine broke and couldn't play it anymore...-sniffles- At least I beat it before it did! If anyone still has this game and I'm sure you probably already know, but you can slip it into your CD player and hear all that awesome music from the game.
oh yes! in the first two wing commander games Maniac was pretty annoying, but he became a great character when they began using FMV's with real actors. Wing Commander 4 was the first game I bought for my then super new and cool Pentium 90, and I still remember the opening scene with Maverick and Maniac in the transporter ship, they might not have been the best actors out there, but they where great characters with a great relationship in the game.
Man, all those characters in WC:P where like real persons, each of them with they unique character. I remember laughing my ass off every time they wold start taunting the crap outta the bugs.
I was lucky enough to find a used copy of the PSX wc3 and wc4 a few years back. I'm never gonna get rid of them lol. I just need a new playstation lol.
Damn i miss the Midway and the whole Crew ^^ Want to save the Universe again, cause you know the Bugs werent finished yet. Anyone should made another WC
Yeah, it's sad that he didn't have a bigger role in it, had they had the actors from the game in the movie it might have been a lot better (yeah, all the actors in the game where pretty bad, but nowhere as bad as the actors in the movie ... even though it's still one of my guilty pleasures. I bought the DVD and watch it every couple of years).
i want to have a new part of wing commander...could anybody buy the licence and create a wing commander 6 please?Of course with real actors and a X3-Reunion-like graphic...i would pay 200$ for such a game because of its amazing story,great actors,beautiful ships and of course the funniest insults ever
i havent tried it on my vista machine but i got wc1 sm 1&2 ...wc2 spec ops...and 3 and 4 to run using good ole dosbox... i wasnt a big fan of the story line revolving around this turd burgler lance casey but game play and watching tom wilson and mark hamill in action was fun...oh and the wc3 and 4 casts..well some revise their roles was nice
This game kicked much ass. I beat it once and am playing it again. I need to get a new joystick and HOTAS device. I loved this game. The movie was less than half as good as the 1ST game. and nowhere near good as the novels. I mean WTF, Pilgrims??? many of my fellow members of the #Wing-Commander channel on Mirc really did not like the movie and felt that it did a great disservice to such an awesome series of games!! I wish we could have another Prophecy game (or at least a damn good sequel
Haha, Did you play on the harder difficulties? Trust me. They are OH So much more scarier. And then there's always Secret Ops. Plus, it's pretty much thanks to the skill of the elite men and women stationed on the women. The creme de la creme of Confed.
They need to make another Wing Commander Game.
Nice...this is the first time I've seen any of the scenes...hard to belive it was 10 years ago;)
wow brings back old memories. This game rocked and still does! :D Thanks for sharing!
fantastic music, fantastic game. and Tom Wilson - what can you say, Maniac is one of the best, funniest characters ever.
E P I C O - we need moooooore of this!!!
Thanks for posting.
I want more... I miss these games!

That explains a lot. I actually finally got my hands on a copy of Privateer 2: The Darkening, looking forward to playing it.
You're not wrong there. The game actors were totally awesome, should have been a proper series of films or hell even a tv series!
Sorry I never had a chance to play this game, I was quite the Wing Commander fan as a kid!

This game was good when I set the difficulty to Nightmare. Anything below and you keep thinking "They don't even try."
TADAA! Another mighty success for the Confederation!!!
Ahh the memories..

Why did they stop making these games and instead serve us a decades worth of mindless FPS. Bring back the golden age of space sims.
@kaidokert
Yes, we see a full Nephilim in the final cutscene.
I couldn't find it on Ebay either so I found a copy on Amazon, it cost a bit but worth it I reckon.
I was lucky enough to find a used copy of the PSX wc3 and wc4 a few years back. I'm never gonna get rid of them lol. I just need a new playstation lol.

nice game indeed, but Freespace has better climate of hopeless fight with superior alien technology.
