Just picked up Wing Commander 1-5 on sale on GOG for like $6

Bogeys on your tail.

and possibly Mark Hamill. I forget when he enters the picture

Don't forget Privateer, one of the greatest games of all time.

I think he's in 3 at least. Maybe it was 4 I played as a kid. He's in at least one of those, anyway.

I'll get it. Where does it fall in the timeline?

>>3983654
Games that are impossible to control with a mouse, decent with a keyboard, playable with a joystick . Also fairly high difficulty except maybe for the later games.

It should occur during the Kill Wrathy war.

I never owned it but rented the Sega CD version over and over. Really should have just bought the damn thing.

Wonderful game, and I really like that you don't have to use warp if you don't want to. Flying through space for half an hour to get to the destination was neat for some reason.

Hey, how's the movie? Also, the novels.

Is it worth getting into this franchise besides the games at all?

>>3984476
The movie is... not good but entertaining IIRC?

I've heard the novels are good. Mercedes Lackey wrote the first one and William Forstchen wrote most of the others.

>>3984476
The movie would've been salvageable if not for the character banter.

Make sure you run them with MT-32 emulation enabled.

So, did anyone else enjoy the port of WC:Prophecy that the GBA got?

I thought it was pretty well done, and it probably has the most advanced 3D that I've ever seen on the GBA.

Oh shit I was contemplating getting Privateer a few days ago.

After playing these games again I never realized how difficult they were. Then again I was playing WC1 on a 268 which made it run slower.
