This is Privateer erasure, and I will not stand for it!

Also, X-Wing and Tie Fighter were better in general.

Did X-wing and TIE Fighter get Mark Hamill? No, they did not. Case closed.

Yeah X-Wing was better but it came out 3 years after Wing Commander.

I didn't realize it was a full two and half years. Now I guess I need to go back and check out the WW2 sims from Lucasarts that were contemporary and see how they hold up.

The cut scenes in the first two games look really cool, I like that style

The graphics in WC blew me away. The sound in wc2 (rise thrakath) did the same. Wc3 movie production values. Privateer open galaxy navigation. Chris Roberts was on a roll!

Serious question. Would Star Citizen be used in a video like this in 20 years.
