    One of the best classic games ever!

    By music_guru | Review Date: Mar 02, 2006 | PC

    Wing Commander is a game with just the perfect mix of action and storyline. You play as a rookie pilot who is learning the ropes while being thrown into combat against the Kilrathi. Thankfully, the game starts out rath... Read Full Review

    Incomparable

    By JackfnBurton | Review Date: Nov 30, 2007 | PC

    I first saw Wing Commander at a friend's house in 1990, and found myself transfixed by the game, as it was like nothing I'd ever seen before - and I've seen it few times since. Space combat sims are a spotty affair, ... Read Full Review

    More than just a game

    By DroidSmuggler | Review Date: Aug 15, 2007 | SNES

    It would be many years before I was able to buy my own computer, not that I didn't really, really want one back in 1993. I just couldn't afford one. I used to ride my bike down to the local computer store just to perus... Read Full Review

    Quite possible the worst game ever made.

    By Mascara_Snake | Review Date: Jun 24, 2007 | SNES

    Everything about Wing Commander - The Secret Missions is a disaster. The game is broken, and entirely boring. Depending on when you gave up, you would spend countless hours wandering, drifting through space. Oh! Don't fo... Read Full Review

    Changed Space Flight Simulation Forever...

    By Grifter75 | Review Date: Oct 17, 2006 | PC

    Around the time of its release there was nothing else around that remotely came close. I bought my first (and the first ever for that matter) Sound Blaster so I could hear this game in stereo. It was amazing. Up to th... Read Full Review

    Greatest game ever. Period.

    By badmilk206 | Review Date: May 12, 2006 | PC

    This game was a perfect 10. Even though the graphics wouldve been outdated by today's standards, the element of storytelling is still outstanding. There hasn't been many games on the market today that follows this form... Read Full Review

    A good game for the early 90's. Wing Commander was a great space fighter game in it's own right.

    By Ricko101 | Review Date: Jan 25, 2006 | SNES

    A good game for the early 90's. Wing Commander was a great space fighter game in it's own right. Despite 2-D graphics the 3-D like game play was well made, with multi-angle sprites of any space-ship in game. With dece... Read Full Review
