Wing Commander: Privateer + Righteous Fire
-
Hey everyone,
I searched the Episodes + Forum and realized, that one of the most fascinating DOS-Games didn’t appear in my scouting… yet. 😉
There are jsut a few re-reviews in spoken- or YouTube-form out there, so I thought this is a perfect candidate.
If someone never heard about this gem:
According to Wikipedia it’s a “adventure space trading and combat simulator” by Origin in the Wing Commander Universe.
The gameplay itself is analogue to Wing Commander 1+2 and it basically uses the same Engine.
Additionally they included a Upgrade+Buy feature to your ship and trading commodities between planets/stations.
Of course you have a storyline which you can or can’t follow as you wish.
Many consider it a a spiritual successor to ELITE.
Hope some of you can share some experiences with this game or this time-capsule, I would like to hear it! 🙂

It might have fallen off the club’s radar because we did an episode on Winge Commander already. But I feel like the gameplay of this one is different enough to warrant its own episode.
I actually found a copy with manual (no box unfortunately) in an op shop (Australian for thrift shop) about 8 years ago when that sort of thing still sometimes happened.
Nowadays you’d be lucky to find a hidden object game or a sims expansion… but that’s another story.
