I take you on a bit of my troubleshooting journey to get Wing Commander 3 hopefully running flawlessly on actual vintage/retro hardware (no DosBox cheating here).
This is my first full length Retro Alcove video. Many more to come in this series. If you like what you see, please let me know below. If you spied a particular item in the partial glimpse my Retro collection that you want to see a video on, let me know that too. I have a huge collection and I am dedicated to sharing regular retro pc content here on this channel.
