Never played wing commander 2?
After playing it a bit more I think I actually really like the story, can anyone recommend any games similar? |

you mean wing commander III? or do you actually mean wing commander II?
they're both similar but wing commander III features FMV's, which are ing righteous. in the 90's, that is. much better plot and graphics too imo. similar? try, obviously, wing commander IV. and wing commander prophecy. and WC: privateer and privateer 2: the darkening.
what i loved so much about WCIII was the fact that you could choose which direction the convo went. there was only two options, but this game did it waaaay before KOTOR ever did.

too many point-and-click adventures, not enough variety. :|
but yeah, GK1 was the . excellent ing story. GK2 sucked though. and you have all those p'n'c's but no sam and max? day of the tentacle? full throttle? |

Populous on the Genesis was actually awesome. I would play that one over the PC actually. |

Hahah, yeah, I don't really know why I never got into Sam and Max. I've got all classics on my hard drive again waiting to be played native on my old pc though :cool:
all the point'n'clicks I mentioned have this fantastic atmosphere, like GK 1 for example (the non-talkie btw, I hated Knight's voice in the talking one); the music, the bookstore, drinking coffee every morning, Mosely. All in all it's just a fantastic game, begging to be played twice or even more.
To name something out of the point-and-click range I'd have to say
Total Annihilation or Command & Conquer. Having them both would be awfully tasteless obviously, since they both sort of are classics that every other person ever to own a pc would name. |

And my dad was one of the lucky one's who got wing commander the kilrathi saga or whatever you call the windows 95 version, so I have 1,2 and 3 (which is now ridiculously expensive... like 200 bucks). Should get 4 though.

I meant 2, and well, I think I may have liked 2's plot better even though it was worse. As for fmvs... well there's c&c tiberian sun for that. Also as for space/air combat crimson skies was good.
So yeh, I guess I'm looking for similar atmosphere or gameplay. |
