Yay one of my fav games
Wing Commander is a 3D space combat simulation, it is one of the few games that i have played over and over again, i love the story line and the fact the you are rewarded for doing well with some funky cut scenes
now if you play this on a stock A500 it will be pretty poor, very low frame rates and dithered graphics.
move up to a stock A1200 and it is still pretty jerky, but now the hand on the joystick moves
add some memory and thing improve quite a bit and the games becomes nice to play
move up to an 030 with fast ram and the game is perfect
move up to an 040 or 060 and, it becomes unplayable again but this time it is too fast!! (there is a guide on this site on how to slow it down)
then there is the AGA version for the CD32, better graphics but again let down by the lack of power from the CD32.
For Wing Commander perfection try the guide to running the CD32 version on an A1200/A4000, you won't be sorry
