I downloaded WC, and finally got it installed and running, but I can't seem to open the file with the game controls in it. Could someone just type out the controls for the game for me. Thanks :help:

Wing Commander was one of my favourite games as a kid! But back then I never won because I didn't realize that the losing path missions won't always let you back onto the winning path.

And of course back then I didn't have DOSBox, which lets me combat the annoyance that the speed of the game depended on the processor resources available... which vary according to how many enemies, asteroids, etc. there are in the game just now!

If anyone wants to read the manual: http://claw.solsector.net/

So anyway, I won... now.... where do I find the secret missions?

For people having trouble getting the second mission to un, I plaed around with the memory settings in DOSbox (disabling ems/xms I think) and got a little further. Unfortunately it freezes as soon as I kill something in mission 2, but someone else might have better luck

I need help. The sound isn't as i remember it on my amiga, and it is disappointing. The texture and tune is there, but the quality is not high. This is the same with lemmings, which i downloaded from this website. 'm using dosbox, but it doesn't help the sound. Great website, though

Did any of you actualy read the review on this site? :whistle:
Near the bottom?....

As for the sound not being as good as you remember from 10+ years ago, well, welcome to real life, nothing is as good as you remember it!

[Jak]

it's not that it isn't as good as i remeber it, it actually isn't as good. I still have my A600 and wing commander original and i know. can anyone help instead of being condescending?

It's no great secret that most of the games of that time were simply better on the amiga. If you still have your amiga, though, why don't you just use that? Alternatively you could try to find an amiga emulator, if you really want to play it on the PC, and don't think the PC sound is good enough.

[Rogue]

This, as many other games, are better on Amiga.

Use WinUAE tp emulate Amiga.

Note: you need kickstart image, and you can't ask here where to get it, as it is illegal. There are many instructions on how to extract it from real amiga, or in other case Google it - also you need ADF images or HD install of this game, as amiga floppy will not work in PC.


Hope this helps!

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 would appreciate some help. :bye:
