Can somebody give me WC1's manual ? I've downloaded this game when it wasn't ESA protected, but I've lost the manual and I don't know some things (e.g. how to eject when the signal flashes ?)

I'm not in the mood to scan the manual right now, but eject is CTRL-E. What else do you want to know?

Behold the glory that is replacementdocs.

Thanks, Flop and Bobbin ! :tnx:

There is no download link!! Did this change recently?

I own this game, well the license at least, but lost the disks years ago. Can anyone post/email/something this game so others can get it?

Thanks!

I own the first four games plus expansion packs. They're wonderful, really it's the best space opera (only though) I've ever experienced. If I find my old joystick I think I'll replay them.

Ok guys no need to panic. The game runs best in Dos or isyou don't have Dos then download DOSBox v.63, then follow the instructions from the Abandonia Website how to set it up. If you experiance the lock ups on some missons you can fix it by doing this: right before you run the game type in
"Loadfix -1 wc" then run the game. This should work. If it still locks up then something else is wrong and then your going to have to wait for someone else to reply telling you to try something else. Remeber, DOSBOX WORKS!

Erm, no, sorry. The game is ESA-protected, so if you ask for it you're asking for warez, which we won't have here.

excuse me, what do you guys know about dos gaming? that game was better on the Amiga? everybody who played the game 1992 or so knows: Wing Commander started the PC game revolution and was released on the Amiga YEARS LATER and that Amiga version did not even come close to the PC version - the PC Version was the first PC game, which used the power of VGA, Soundblaster and the 80386 processor - a revolution, this game was not possible to run on an Amiga 500, so it wasn´t done


as far as I know the later Amiga version wasn´t even made by origin, it did not run on the usual Amigas 500 without harddrive, so: Wing Commander wasn´t an Amiga game

so please: check your facts before posting


btw: I didn´t have the slightest problem running the game with dos box

Wing Commander started the PC game revolution

Wing Commander and Strike Commander didn't start a revulition for most of the "normal" users those days. I remember that the hardware requirements were far too high for most of the users and so they were scared of runnign it on their 40 mhz 386. I remember that you needed at least 66 mhz 486 to run it smoothly - so maybe it was a revolution but it was also just meant for people who had the money for up-to-date hardware ...
