Last year was a challenge for everyone, but we've got a brand new year on deck to start fresh. Wing Commander prospects are some of the strongest in years, so now's your chance to let everyone know what you think 2026 has in store. Vote below!
We've also concluded our birthday poll that takes a look at the makeup of our visitors. We've still got quite a few old timers in the mix, but it's nice to see as many as one in six are newcomers!

…It's stardate 2026.001 which means that we would like to wish the Wing Commander community a very happy new year! Sadly, the time has come to once again put away your Kilrathi Saga 1997 calendar... you won't be able to use it again until 2031! Despite this setback, we're hopeful that 2026 will be a better year for both Wing Commander and our enduring family of fans.
It goes without saying that we're moving closer to the Wing Commander timeline every day: it's just 603 years until (the official) first contact with the Kilrathi! And we're just 56 years to the day from… the Mongolian invasion of China? That's what Action Stations says, anyway!:
Washington did it at the Battle of Trenton and turned the tide of the American Revolution. Sure, the British and Hessians screamed foul, but it brought victory. The Arab states did nearly the same thing in the Yom Kippur War of 1973, and the Mongols did it in their

The holidays have already quickly come and gone, but there are a couple short days left to squeeze out some big discounts on Wing Commander games. The EA store has an excellent sale going on with Wing Commanders 1 through 4 and Privateer each going for $2.49. Meanwhile, GOG's winter sale continues with each of their eight packages containing the DOS/Windows WC games going for $2.99 a piece. These will be the lowest Wing Commander princes that we'll see... until next year, that is!
Already own the games digitally? Hit up George Oldziey's online store for some fantastic new digital WC music, or view our Cyber Tuesday rundown for more WC deals.

…We spotted a tantalizing reference to the lost console port of Wing Commander II. The March 1994 issue of German magazine Mega Fun has a short article about the upcoming Sega Virtual Processor chip... which mentions that Electronic Arts plans to use a similar chip with Wing Commander II for the Genesis. That project was cancelled over technical issues and not much is known about the special chip! The project was then completed internally for the SNES but never released!
Sega Virtual Processor
Virtual Racing will be the first MD game with a built-in additional chip (March). Sega's Virtual Processor (SVP) is also planned to be released separately in the future. The other games that use the chip will then simply be plugged in like with an import adapter. Electronic Arts is also working on a game with a co-processor: Wing Commander 2. However, the chip is not from Sega, but from ASICS. Argonaut Software,
