Wing Commander was a revolution when it came out. Graphics, sound and gameplay, the three corner stones of gaming, were all raised to new heights. The VGA graphics were used in all its glory to tell an amazing story. It took years to make this game, unusual for a time where games could still be written by one man sitting behind his home computer (although that was already becoming a thing of the past). The reason for this were the many setting that were made for the game, each one painstakingly hand drawn into the computer. The labour paid dividends as even today I cannot help but be amazed at how the game looks even in it’s cutscenes. It helps tremendously in immersing you into the story.

Storicamente parlando, Wing Commander e la saga che esso ha generato non hanno rivali nel loro genere e ancora oggi, a tanti anni dall’ultimo episodio, non v’è nulla sul mercato che possa raggiungere vette così alte di spettacolarità e divertimento.

What does it feel like to play a movie? The moment you load-up Wing Commander, you know you're playing something special. State of the art graphics, sound and presentation are supported by playable and additive gameplay. This cinematic combat-sim won't keep you hooked for months, but this doesn't detract from the fact that Wing Commander is a game in a class all it's own. Origin could become the software house of the decade.

Wing Commander sehen und staunen: Selbst überzeugte Action-Gegner und Science-fiction-Hasser können sich dem fantastischen Flair dieses herrlichen Spiels kaum entziehen. Die Aufmachung im Stil eines Kinofilms ist wegweisend und wird durch den nicht-linearen und damit vielschichtigen Spielverlauf unterstützt. Im Genre der 3-D-Weltraumactionspiele hängt Wing Commander die gesamte Konkurrenz ab. Eine packend dichte Atmosphäre, viel Abwechslung und ein intelligentes Gegnerverhalten machen das Programm zu einem echten Erlebnis. Hochgezüchtete Hardware vorausgesetzt bietet Wing Commander Spielgenuß der Luxusklasse.
