Wing Commander: Kilrathi Saga Intro 

Never mind the video, just that jump point sound effect alone makes me stupidly nostalgic!

I still love this game.

The Kilrathi themselves would be horrified by these things. After all, 'Furless Freak' actually appears as a Kilrathi taunt in WC2 and Prophesy

I need to work on that. I still get video skips on that and Prophecy, even when I cut down the performance of the sound card. Oddly enough, my DOS-based version of WC4 works just fine when I install the Windows 95/98 updater thing included in The Kilrathi Saga set.

I really love the medley of the WC1, 3 and 4 themes.

About that, I run WC3 with VDMsound - but I can't figure out how to get it to display in its proper aspect ratio on a 16:9 monitor.

Well, it was the Kilrathi pilots calling you 'Furless Freak' in WC3 as in "FIGHT FURLESS FREAK" and in WCP, its them shouting it at the bugs

@SidNightWalker PS 3 has wing commander 4 availiable for download for PS3 & PSP

anybody got that? the Kilrathi Saga, I wanted to buy it off Ebay UK but the price is £199.00

Kilrathi saga will work on Windows XP, assuming you set all the executables to run in Windows 95 Compatibility Mode.

@bdghkptwj It contains only the main three games, but the Secret Missions and Special Operations expansions can be downloaded. There is an issue, though. I am never able to transfer my WC1 saved games into WC2, no matter where I save them and point the Transfer window to.

Not sure as Prophecy runs on Win XP SP3 but haven't tested Wing Commander 4 as yet, I have 2 pc's I guess would just have to run it on Windows ME or 98se and put up with that

Damn. Where can I get this version? I have only been able to play WC2 (came with my CD-ROM bundled package) and WC4. I had no means to buy the games back then, so if my dad didn't buy them, I would not get them. :( The WC games had been long gone by the time I was able to buy games for myself

Will it run on modern OS though? Kilrathi Saga was updated to run on windows, but that was on Windows 98 I think and using the old Soundblaster sound detection as well. I want these games back too, but I'm afraid its just too out of date to run on modern PCs

You know, I liked George Oldzeiy's music in the later Wing Commander games, but I still prefer the original WC fanfare by, I believe it was "Fatman" in the first game. I wish that that theme had been more present in Oldzeiy's music, and in this intro.

Phenomenal piece of music. By the way, for those that don't know yet, George Oldziey is planning to release a full orchestral recording of some of his Wing Commander work. Support the project here! www.kickstarter.com/projects/1373816047/wing-commander-music-orchestral-recording-project/comments

I think Chris Roberts has issues with EA, like Richard Garriot, he gets in heated discussions and gets fired. I think Chris Roberts maybe working on a kickstarter project for Wing Commander.

@SidNightWalker it won't be MechWarrior like it used to be, though. More straightforward, action-oriented instead of the complexity of a simulation game.

It's not that hard to find. As I type this, there's a copy for sale on eBay, for the low buy it now price of only $200. :-/

err, hello!? Google: Star Citizen

on an arcade game :(

w3rd. Hell we need more space flight sims anyway

I im call sign cheater wing commander and maverick wing commander 2 and eagle hawk

You're shitting me, 2 Quid?

not really, it has none of the elements that made the original series interesting. In fact, it has things that specifically will annoy fans of the original series.
