Wing Commander -- Port Hedland 2

Me playing the second mission of the Port Hedland system in (the original) Wing Commander, PC version.

I forgot to record the Briefing, here's the orders from it:
"Today's mission is a four-point patrol route. You'll pass through each Nav Point, checking for enemy activity. There's a field of what looks like asteroids around Nav 2, and another at Nav 4. Intelligence reports that enemy traffic is heavier than ever. And our people on McLaren think they've spotted a new capital ship class. We're calling it 'Fralthi'. If you see it, observe as closely as you can."


(Sorry about the aspect ratio. This is directly recorded from DOSbox, but when recording it doesn't apply the aspect correction that I had active while playing this. Should I ever get around to correct it in the video file, it should be stretched vertically by 20%, I will re-upload that.)

Something that always bugged me about the Kilrathi Saga re-release (other than weapon/shield damage seems to be totally borked) was the fact that the music seems to fall flat by a full octave when the trumpets sound in... 11:04 - 11:10 for example. Here it sounds right, even if the instrument quality is poorer. :) The same can be said of the mission briefing music, it just seems like it's petered out. :/ "Sorry guys, we got asthmatic brass that day!"

Iceman here’ll try to tell you speed and handling’ll save your butt, but I’ll take an extra three centimetres of durasteel plating any day!
