I don't think I've every played a Wing Commander game that didn't blow my mind. I remember reading a games back back in the early 90's and seeing a preview for Wing Commander 3 and I was gob smacked by the graphics and how good it looked and was the main reason why I wanted a PC. Some 4 years latter I got my opportunity and it was just as good as I had imagined. I think I played the first game on my Amgia 1200.
BTW I have a very rare game. Wing Commander 4 on DVD, it cost me a lot of money but it was well worth it. Can't wait to give this fan based game a try, I played one before but I was a bit underwhelmed by it.
