These Games come with all additional speech packs and mission packs,
and use over 300MB of CD space, only requiring 10MB to 15MB hard
disk space.
~STRIKE COMMANDER
This is an average flight sim with nice graphics and sound. This
game is in the traditional origin style, i.e. you can talk to
everybody on base and move around freely. This game has great
missions, plenty to keep you occupied for some time, especially if
you are a flight sim buff.
That's all there is to say about this game, its just an average
flight sim with lush graphics and sound, I still prefer TFX and
STUNT ISLAND through.
All together this game scores 7/10.
~PRIVATEER
I didn't like this game at first, but after I read the manual I
started playing the game a lot, in fact this game has grown on me.
You are a privateer or space trader, and are given the choice of many
missions, legal and illegal, which can lead down different roads,
i.e. one of the illegal missions has you blamed for a murder of
someone, while left with a strange alien artifact.
This game is very fun to play once you get into it, and is a must for
wing commander buffs out there, as there is still a lot of space
confrontations, especially later on when you have to fight 1 or 2 new
KILRATHI space ships (shown in intro.), very hard, even with the best
ship.
Altogether this game scores 9/10.
To sum it all up the whole package scores 9/10 as it is value for
money.
Please note strike commander kept crashing on my system (486DX2
66MHZ, 4MB RAM), although it worked perfectly on my two mates
computers, who have the same processor as me but 8MB of RAM.
It might just be my computer, as it has been playing up recently,
however you have been warned.
