Item Description

The briefing ends, the launch tube hisses and your Hornet drops into the black around the carrier Tiger's Claw, with a wingman on your flank and a Kilrathi patrol somewhere ahead. Wing Commander made players feel like the hero of their own war movie, and its Sega CD version adds something the 1990 computer original could only hint at: a cast that actually talks back.

Created by Chris Roberts at Origin Systems, Wing Commander is a space combat sim wrapped in a story. You fly sorties against the cat-like Kilrathi Empire across the Vega Sector, swap gossip with your fellow pilots between missions and climb the ranks with medals and promotions. The pilots are the soul of the game: the steady veteran Paladin, the cool and exacting Angel, the reckless show-off Maniac and the rest of the squadron each have a personality that shows up in the cockpit as much as in the bar.

The campaign branches. Win the critical missions and the war turns in the Confederation's favor; fail them and the story follows a darker, retreating path, so your performance shapes the war you experience. On Sega CD every character is voiced, from briefings to taunts in the middle of a dogfight, and your squadmates address you by the callsign Hotshot. A newly orchestrated CD soundtrack backs the action, and a six-button controller makes the full set of cockpit commands much easier to reach.

Wing Commander was a landmark of early-'90s computer gaming, and the Sega CD conversion is one of the more ambitious ways it reached consoles, trading some of the PC's resolution for a fully voiced, CD-scored presentation that feels very much of its moment. If you grew up hearing about the Tiger's Claw from PC-owning friends, this is the version that brought it to the living room.

About the game

Gameplay consists of completing successive missions and overall cockpit performance affects gameplay: going above and beyond the call of duty results in medals, promotions in rank are awarded at regular intervals, and success or failure on certain critical missions decides the player's plot progress, "winning" or "losing".
