Wing Commander

TCW Podcast Episode 117 - Wing Commander   We look at one of the great space flight simulators of the 90's!  Wing Commander is largely attributed to Chris Roberts. However we find out in this episode the many other people who were instrumental in not just the story, but gameplay of Wing Commander.  We can see the true potential of the Siliwood era with the live action cut scenes used in both Wing Commander III and IV.    We of course look at the inspirations for Wing Commander, and take a look at the history of the people involved!  Grab your flight suit, and strap yourself in commander!   TCW 017 - The British 8-Bit Computer Market: Hardware: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-british-8-bit-computer-market-hardware/ TCW 018 - The British 8-Bit Computer Market: Software: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-british-8-bit-computer-market-software/ Wizadore: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Frec-Bh6XfE Stryker's Run: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78Q6qrzYw5I TCW 038 - Origin Story: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/origin-story-1489274251/ Times of Lore: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Us8fDT3HYz8 Bad Blood: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=to057eXgGNw Space Rogue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyby7Znjmzc Battlehawks 1942: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pt6Q0jPWnQw&t=731s F-19 Stealth Fighter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYPAKu2sP7w Wing commander launch cutscene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rocwNg05FL4 Wing Commander 1 Campaign with Commentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9Z4q8y-FhY Wing Commander 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3IXwoZSH9Y&list=PLcl9BuQAvqoAQWPRbs__HFdgNDpXx-uUA TCW 082 - An Unlikely Pairing of Siliwood: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/an-unlikely-pairing-of-siliwood/ Wing Commander 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhPlK6yOT3g Wing Commander 4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcbHuJxqgk0   New episodes on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: [email protected]  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theycreateworlds Alex's Video Game History Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com Alex's book is available for preorder and should be released through CRC Press in December 2019: http://bit.ly/TCWBOOK1   Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.
