In late 1994, PC Games magazine commissioned famed UK comic artist Simon Bisley to create six covers for their magazine. The February 1995 issue featured Wing Commander III in honor of the magazine's review of the game. We've taken a look at the issue itself to get a closer look!

Wing Commander III is the cover story and the artwork is reprinted several times…

... including in a nice clear full page just before the review itself! Neat.

The 'team talk' section also has the magazine's crew praising Wing Commander III. And the issue included a cover disc that had both the Wing Commander III demo and a copy of the Behind the Screens program!

Hard? Cor! Is a techno dance commune which performed a Tribal Rainforest Chip-Shop Alkali Soul set which incorporates local cultures. It was fronted by singer Wok-Eyes, who is known for his laid back, disinterested personality. The band has been described as "techno wizards" and "calcium-challenged bleep gods" and their music as "electic." They became popular with young people around 2790; fans called themselves the "Universe crew". They signed a three-album deal with Zak Skintight's Startled Productions that year. Wok-eyes commented "yeah, it's alright I suppose. Zak's a nice bloke, and we'll get to go to some really good parties. Can I go now?"

Also in 2790, Hard? Cor! hosted a series of three-day "be ins" on planets around the Tri-System including Janus IV which offered music, dancing, ethnic education and spiritual exploration. These were very popular among Hard? Cor!'s young audience but they

Speculation continues to mount around Radicoida unica, the rare exobiological discovered in HIP 87621.
Though scientific data remains tightly controlled, fragments of research are circulating among the scientific community opposed to the system's military lockdown. The source of these research fragments is currently unconfirmed.
The source suggests that Radicoida unica can remain dormant for centuries and contains an unusually complex bio-chemical compound which may have pharmaceutical applications.
Critics argue that military control of the enclave is less about protecting a fragile discovery, and more about ensuring exclusive access to what could become the most potent biological discovery in centuries. Since the leaked reports of its unusual bio-chemical make-up, analysts note that military mobilisation has increased across the enclave with some suggesting the region could soon become a

Zakariah Skintight has been called the galaxy's most famous musician and one of the most remarkable success stories of the 28th century. He performs as lead singer and Nuclear Banjo player with his band, The Buttock Men. He is known for his laid back attitude, typically commenting only that "it's a bit of a larf, innit" when his antics cause a disaster. He was born Zakariah Frump on Janus IV in 2740 or 2761, the son of a Bex farmer. He was poorly educated and had a SIQ of 90; nevertheless, he took to rock music naturally. He moved to Anhur in 2778 and by 2782 had become famous on the planet for his outrageous exploits and musical ability.

By 2790, he owned a mansion on Hermes. Skintight owns Startled Productions which publishes his music and in 2790 signed a three-album deal with Hard? Cor!. In 2790, the studio released the band's long-waited album No Butts. It included hit songs Show me your scars,

No surprise this week: everyone in the club still loves Contact (and greatly misses a world that would've allowed such a story to be believable). This time around we decided to choose another war movie. We watched a LOT of war movies early on because they were things Chris Roberts or others specifically cited when talking about Wing Commander. Our options now are a little more obscure! We voted to go with the 1964 epic historical drama Zulu which tells the story of the 1879 Battle of Rorke's Drift. If we're being honest, we're getting The Dambusters vibes already! You can join us this Friday via Discord to watch along.

Our most direct Wing Commander connection going into the movie is that Dr. Forstchen borrowed/quoted a famous exchange of dialogue from the movie in Wing Commander: Action Stations. In his version, it's Confederation fighter pilots at McAuliffe preparing to fly to their nearly certain
