PC Longplay [117] Wing Commander - Secret Missions 1

[@bravoman368]

I wish they would seriously remake this game.

[@VanguardDetonados]

this game is older than me and i see now why people loved it so much

[@CruisIn1500]

I remember making bombing runs on ships in wc2, where you had to get close with the broadsword and release the torpedo or the flak cannon fire would destroy it. And no afterburner on broadsword meant you had to slow boat in and out, and your shields had to hold all the way in and out!

[@pizigi]

I loved how the pilots were wearing jeans in this game.

[@steffkriegthegreat3435]

Jeans will never go out of style!!

[@CruisIn1500]

omg the memories. I remember blasting so many cats so fast to keep these bloody paper thin escorts alive. Full guns man! I preferred the raptor cause the guns fired faster, but the rapier was more maneuverable and had better shields. I'd get 20 kills in some missions I remember. The ansty part was flying back home after a long hard mission, all damaged by yourself, as you had to fly by yourself frequently in the secret missions. Engaging a squadron of gratha all damaged....puts you on edge.

2:17:35 - Obviously the dialogue hasn't been written too in-depth - even though Paladin appeared to destroy the supply depot, because the player didn't do it personally "another wing took out the supply depot"!

[@Eschelius1]

Agree - difficulty is insane, I completed whole WC campaign on Normal (even winning freaking Kurasawa) and most of the frustration came from stupid wingmen, the missions themselves were ok. Now, in Secret Missions 1 it was the same till I hit Jotunheim and here it is just frustrating, even initial encounter with stupid Salthis is hard..

[@flyboy747]

It's still is an excellent job my friend:-) I did notice though that you open fire (especially at capships) at a distance way too far from your gun's effectiveness. For example, you flew a Rapier (lasers and neutrons) and started firing at a Ralari at 6000m - no good. Larers are effective after 5000m and neutrons at 2500 (mass drivers at 3000). Also, never attack a cap ship from afront - too much flack:-)))

[@AmigaOmega]

@airjersey89 It only happens towards end of the game where I got fed up playing same level over and over and having some random thing happen which either kills me or forces the mission to be lost. It was a choice of even the odds and see the whole story or simply end making the longplay.

[@TheAeroAvatar]

It baffles me how quick they tried to write off the Gwenhyvar as nothing more than a myth. A whole destroyer falling into enemy hands, the humans would DEFINITELY notice one of their warships missing and keep a record of it.

[@vikingfortiesfaeroes]

I never thought all the talk of Iceman being such a hotshot meant anything, but watching this, he's clearly better than the others. Shame all that build up about Maniac going crazy never went anywhere, though.

[@airjersey89]

sorry about my curiosity but it looks very strange to me when fighter just appear and blow up immediately.this is only thing which looks bad in this longplay but that doesn't matter. The most important thing is you've shown WC: Secret Missions 1 which I have never played but I wish I can. Wing commander is something more than a game from early '90. I hope I could play Secret Missions 1 and 2 one day :) I'm very thankfull for this longplay :)

[@-CrimsoN-]

So I'm playing Wing Commander for the first time and yeah... this game reeks of 90s "we didn't have a lot of games back then so we made our games ridiculously difficult so that you'd get your money's worth". The initial Wing Commander campaign wasn't too bad, but Secret Missions... this shit is painful. Like physically painful. I just beat the first Secret Missions, but I'm not sure I can get through Secret Missions 2. The campaign is much better, but what the Hell were the developers thinking. Still, it's cool to see where space games have come from. We've definitely come far!!

[@madmechanic7976]

Was that Crusader?

[@dakerson1234]

Takes me back. Good times good times

[@ivan_pozdeev_u]

31:28 Destroy a new devastating weapon with no defense against rather than capture it? No comments.

[@janjic]

I couldn't even finish the original WC without cheating. Gave up on mission 5 after trying about 30 times. Used invincibility throughout the rest of the game. And everyone says this is much more difficult. So I'm not even going to try to play fair :-)

[@dazedEconfused]

Man, you should really use those full guns with a raptor all the time. IMHO. Great vid though!

[@vikingfortiesfaeroes]

I never understood why Hunter's helmet said "Dart" on it. And they didn't even fix it for these secret missions!

[@snupjeve]

1:08:20: augh! Lost both mass drivers!

[@SeafoodKilla1]

Man...what is your obsession with NOT ENGAGING the enemy after the last Nav point?...seems like once you hit it..it's nothing but afterburner all the way back to TC REGARDLESS of mission objective...very frustrating to watch!!

[@chrismc410]

35:14

[@RaidenWarriors]

Reminds me a little of Sega Genesis FM sound processing...

[@thirdworldrider6991]

i remember desparately ramming some ships if my guns got shot off.....the scimitar was tough

[@ahmadmuzaffarzafriy1234]

Where to download this?

[@aiddogg3]

first mission you let the lumbar transport get away, also first mission and nav point you didn't use afterburner? and you missed heaps of kills and the 2nd mission the tigers claw was just about dead, I wont even comment on further missions and what u missed and why it takes u forever to kill a gratha I know there the hardest of the kilrathi fleet but there still not that hard, even dracos is harder to kill.

[@skatedog05]

Whats the req. of this game? :P

[@Azereiah]

Can't fight well if you're uncomfy. If they were given the option, they'd probably have denim seat covers and fly without pants.

[@airjersey89]

why the hell some of kilrathi fighter blow up themselves?

[@warellis]

What difficulty setting was this played on?

[@Otokichi786]

I don't recall that there was a Difficulty Level setting for "Wing Commander" in the 1990's. If you lost missions, the game got much more difficult on the Losing track. (A powerful incentive to complete the mission no matter what.;) I did see the Secret Misions for sale, and I may have bought #1, until Lucas Arts' "X-Wing" and "Tie Fighter" came along...

[@vikingfortiesfaeroes]

1:48:24 Spirit takes to the podium!

[@Fuchsia_tude]

Yeah, Microprose was pretty sloppy at being consistent with the backgrounds in these cutscenes -- they depicted pilots in the wrong seats in the bar in a past mission or two, too.

[@thirdworldrider6991]

missions were hard as shit. I remember getting like 25 kills o n some trying to keep my wingmen alive.

[@DaynaVanD]

Geez clicking through all the dialogue waaaay tooo fast.

[@Fuchsia_tude]

Watch at 50% speed. Or hit spacebar

[@Elburion]

I'd rather a hornet than a scimitar anyday.

[@freespacehero]

wow, 3 hours 18 minutes long... I hope you didn't do it in one sitting! Thanks for your efforts, though!

[@GrazianoPala]

peeu peeu peeu!!

[@GrazianoPala]

@Bethca05-hj4dl ti coddedde

[@Varus78]

2:58:00-59:00 CHEAT!

[@TheNoobPube]

look up "star citizen" !

[@snupjeve]

oh, it's even better than that. Search for "Star Citizen"
