- Well, I guess I must warn you guys, there are probably mail order companies
- and stores who haven't gotten rid of their old Wing Commander stock. Before
- buying, I would advise you to ask them if the version they have is the updated
- version. Around January 14th is when they started sending out the new improved
- version of this game. The company or store should know about it since Mindscape
- should've told them. If you live in the U.S., your best bet is with AmigaMan
- or Computer Basics for they should only have my version of Wing Commander in
- stock. It didn't become apparent until one person mailed me saying they still
- got 16-colors on one they just received. However, Amigaman sold out of their
- older stock before the new ones came in. That's why when I ordered my copy on
- Christmas, I had to wait until january 14th before they even sent it out.
- The game plays ok in 16-color, but after playing it in 32 colors, 16 doesn't
- do it justice. By the way, is there anyone else here on the net that has a
- 32 color version?? I haven't heard from any of those people. I'm just hoping
- I'm not the only one with 32 colors on Wing commander. I do remember someone
- here with an A3000 saying that they had it with 32 colors, if you could send
- me a holler about it too, perhaps I can clear up this investigation. I just
- tend to have trouble calling a company in England from my dorm room. I guess
- normally one doesn't care, but I kind of wish everybody had this version. It
- is a project that opens a lot of hope in Mindscape. At least we won't have this
- problem in Wing Commander 2. There won't be a 16-color only version for that one.
