I've never played the classic space combat simulator Wing Commander, and that must be remedied! Wing Commander is the title that launched a franchise that defined the space combat sim, and borrowed from the atmosphere of WW2 and classic fighter pilot films to create one of the all-time great space combat games.

About Wing Commander:

- Face the terrifying Kilrathi Empire in starfighter combat.
- One of the very first games to feature multiple endings and branching storylines based on mission performance.
- Struggles a bit on modern CPUs, but this is manageable (it takes me a few episodes to figure that out).

This game is available, along with the rest of its series, on GOG.com

Wing Commander launched the career of Chris Roberts, who you may know as the man behind Cloud Imperium Games and the upcoming title Star Citizen, which borrows heavily from Wing Commander and who's cast includes actors who were in Wing Commander after its transition to FMV cutscenes in place of pixel art.
