Wing Commander is a space combat simulator, and by many considered a true classic. I had never heard of this game before starting this run, but I can understand why people praise it. The technology is very impressive for its time, with 3D combat, good AI (different behavior depending on ship class, and individual characters have different behaviors to suit their personality), dynamic damage and a vast array of missions. The only down side might be that the units are rendered as sprites, and not as 3D objects, so it can be hard to know exactly where objects resides in space, and you can sometimes crash into seemingly nothing.
I really like this game; it is a ton of fun to play. The action is intense and immersive, I love the different characters and the scenarios feels sensible. The only thing I really hate are some of the escort missions, which seems neigh impossible. Your escort is often destroyed the moment you see them, since they start surrounded with enemy ships. But all in all, this game is great, and I am so glad we finally got to beat it!
