Inside Mac Games was a unique sort of magazine from the mid-1990s. It was specific to the small, affluent community of Macintosh gamers and instead of being printed it came on a CD-ROM! The articles were presented through an interactive executable and they could link to slide shows, trailers, advertisements and even game demos! Dundradal, who remembers IMG from his youth, located five major previews and reviews of Wing Commander games which we've extracted to the best of our abilities here. Links to copies of the ISOs themselves are also included in case you want to get the genuine experience emulating them on an old Mac!

We had a great time following a universal classic with its weird but incredibly special legacy sequel. 2010: The Year We Make Contact is a fascinating movie and I hope everyone enjoyed listening to me go on about it for two hours. I could probably spend that much time just opining on the unusual choice of tense for the title!

Here's the Leonov, designed by Wing Commander Prophecy's Syd Mead! Eagle-eyed sci fi fans will notice that Babylon 5 later... borrowed... the ship for the Omega-class destroyer. Which in turn fascinated Chris Douglas during the making of Wing Commander III!

All three of our simple 2001 references also reappear! Here's HAL, the AE-35 and TMA-1 as seen in all three places (2001, then 2010 and then Wing Commander). The Tycho monolith is only seen in the slideshow of clips from the original movie that opens the film. By the way, we also see "Moonbase Tycho" as a Confederation base on

This is a reminder that we have another fun #Wingnut movie night planned on Discord this evening! The ongoing theme will be movies that are referenced by Wing Commander in some way. Tonight's film is 1492: Conquest of Paradise (1992) and you can find details on why we're watching it in the announcement post here. The movie will start about 7 PM PST/10 PM EST but feel free to drop by and hang any time!

There's a pretty good joke hidden in the 'tips' section of the Wing Commander IV manual. Check out the very last one:

"You can fight the Seether" is maybe not a helpful tip for playing Wing Commander IV… but it does tie the game's genetically enhanced villain to the 1994 Veruca Salt song that provided his name! Here's the music video:

Another fun little popular music reference in a Wing Commander game is Arena's Broadsword Warpig, which was named after the Black Sabbath song War Pigs. RIP Ozzy!
