I bought WIng commander blind and loved it, I was irrationally unhappy I didn’t have a hand to control the joystick (if you know, you know. 2 was another level again and my computer struggled, the spirit cutscene slowed to a slideshow unfortunately which killed the impact a bit.

It was a while later when I walked into a store to see the opening cutscene for 3. I amazed and bought it straight away. I was unhappy with the spy reveal though, I loved that character and felt it wasted the them. The cutscenes were amazing for the time, I lost just to see the alternate cut scenes. If only they could’ve realised that vision in the movie.

4 was ok but I missed the kilrathi.
