Show of hands: Who actually had access to a computer in the early 90s with BOTH a Roland device AND a Sound Blaster installed simultaneously?? :o Today on Ancient DOS Games, Gemini's taking a look back at Wing Commander II: Vengeance of the Kilrathi, a full sequel to the first Wing Commander game released just a year later by Origin Systems in 1991. While it has much of the same gameplay as its predecessor, there's plenty of new features too, most of which are very welcome, ONE of which is very NOT welcome... ------------------------------------------ Additional Information and Corrections: * Here's a link to grab both of the first two Wing Commander games and their expansions from GOG: https://www.gog.com/en/game/wing_commander_1_2 * If by chance you have the Windows 95 port of the game and wish to run it on a modern Windows system, you can find WCDX over at this link: https://github.com/Bekenn/wcdx * The Sound Blaster IS actually used for some sound effects too, but ONLY in the story segments, not during gameplay. :P ------------------------------------------ Pixelmusement Website: https://www.pixelships.com ADG on Pixelmusement: https://www.pixelships.com/adg Alphabetical Index of ADG Episodes: https://www.pixelships.com/adg/index2.html Kris' Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/kasick @ pixelmusement.com on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/pixelmusement.com ------------------------------------------ Chapters: 00:00 Title and Intro 02:25 Game Stats 05:33 Story 08:25 Gameplay - What's New 13:36 Gameplay - Lead Indicators 16:12 Gameplay - Bombing Runs 17:44 Difficulty 25:57 Overall 26:51 DOSBox Configuration 30:10 Credits
