Wing Commander was ported to the Amiga, FM Towns, SNES, Mega-CD, Amiga CD32, 3DO, Mac OS, and PlayStation Portable systems, the most ports of any Wing Commander game. Perhaps in a nod to this little in-joke, when the character was given an actual name in later installments, Origin chose "Blair", a shortened version of the old nickname. The development team's nickname for the otherwise-unnamed protagonist was "Bluehair," due to his unusual shade of hair. Originally announced as Squadron, the name was changed to Wingleader shortly into development however, trademark issues forced a name change to Wing Commander at the last moment. Since the missions in the following Rostov sequence are relatively easy, that is to say-difficult but quite winnable, this is not particularly problematic for any player who has penetrated this far into the game. Consistent victory in that mission (Kurosawa 2) is often taken as a mark of an excellent player in this game. Since that mission was a critical victory condition for that system, the player would almost always wind up on the losing path because of it although the game gives one last chance to return to the winning path afterwards. Even though it is possible to win the mission, it is prohibitively difficult. However, in an infamous design decision, game designer Chris Roberts included an incredibly hard mission along the "victory" track which required you to protect a captured Kilrathi destroyer from four Gratha heavy fighters. In-game cinematics in "newsreel" format reflected the success or failure of the player and the Claw. The game was notable for its innovative and seldom-repeated "campaign tree" structure, whereby the "path" you took on the way to the end would be determined by your performance on preceding missions. Through the course of the Vega campaign, the player can gain numerous promotions and medals and fly in various squadrons, each featuring a different fighter. Through his heroic efforts, the Confederation is able to destroy the Kilrathi's sector headquarters and drive them from the Vega sector. The player begins his tour of duty as a young officer on the carrier TCS Tiger's Claw. The newest addition to the series, Wing Commander Arena, was released for the Xbox Live Arcade service on July 25, 2007.
WING COMMANDER PRIVATEER SPEECH PACK SERIES
The Wing Commander game series began in 1990 with Wing Commander. As well as Christopher Walken, John Hurt, and Clive Owen in Privateer 2: The Darkening. Starting with Wing Commander III: Heart of the Tiger, every game (excluding Wing Commander: Secret Ops) contained cutscenes that incorporated live action filming, starring several major Hollywood actors, including John Rhys-Davies, Mark Hamill, Thomas F.

The games were all notable for their storytelling through extensive cutscenes. Launching from carrier ships, the player fulfills various missions in starfighters. The Terran Confederation is an alliance of systems and regional governments which provide unified protection and economic growth. The player represents the Terran Confederation, the primary human government in the Wing Commander series. The species is featured in every game, with later games revealing more complex characters than just a faceless enemy. Physically they are bipeds who strongly resemble big cats: they have leonine manes, but also have markings which distinguish their clan of origin. The Kilrathi are native to the planet Kilrah with their society depicted as an empire. They loosely resemble the Kzin from Larry Niven's Known Space universe. Set in the 27th century, the games tell the story of humanity's war against the Kilrathi, an alien species of large feline bipeds. 2.8.4 The Kilrathi Saga (1996 recompilation).
