How can I call myself a gamer.... Reply with quote
...when I didn't even know about this:

Wing Commander Saga: The Darkest Dawn
http://www.wcsaga.com/

Wing Commander was my first real foray into PC gaming. I had to buy 1mb of RAM to upgrade my 386/16 to play it. Cost me $200 per mb and I bought 2. Wow.

Great Googly mooglies! It looks like it is out or almost out. I remember Wing Commander on my 286 - slide show city.

Bit of trivia for ya....and a few screens Smile

Wing Commander was released on September 26, 1990

X-Wing Alliance was released on 28 February 1999

bit 'o difference in the screenshots, but a bit 'o time in between as well.
