The once and Future Classic! I dont give games 10.0's but this, Privateer, and WC3 are about as good as you can give us.

What can you say about this series that hasn't already been said: " In my opinion it was the best series of all time and the spin-off Privateer, was my favorite game of all time. Its hard to believe that at this writing, this game is 12 years old and with the Windows patch- that you can download from Game spot- this babe is still a thing of beauty. I marvel as I enter my 20th year as a semi-pro game player (Yes I am over 50!) how far this PC games have advanced. Yet as I play this game, how little they have come. When you see games like Privateer, Dune2, WC3&4, Panzer Generals 1,2, &3, its amazing how little they have come and how much they did back then.
Yes I know, I also went broke trying to keep up with Chris Roberts always pushing the outside of the gaming envelope but it was worth it. He regrets not making a movie while filming the games WC3&4, the movie they made with Prinz jr. was not even close to the games. I wish could afford to buy the rights to this dead series, give it over to experts just have them update the sound, graphics, and interface and I would be good to go for years more, to heck with waiting for Halo after Halo. Wing Commander 4, with it's twisted plot of how Presidents and Generals can go bad if you don’t hold them to the rules is more timeless now than then. I loved this game then I love it even more now. obiken
