Wing commander worked fine on any amiga with 1MB and from floppy drive. It came in 1992, developed and published by ORIGIN, and it did not have PC sound problems like PC DOS version.

Origin had messy sound on most of their games of the time, and there is nothing new about it.

can´t believe what I´m reading here - do you think that´s kind of funny; Wing Commander 1 had no Problems running on 80386SX with 20 Mhz; on 80386DX with 25 Mhz or 33 Mhz it was perfect or a bit too fast - most of my friends even played it - with some limitation on 80286 machines (so please don´t compare Wing Commander 1 to WC2 and Strike Commander) Wing Commander 2 needed 80386DX and Strike Commander 80486 DX/DX2 - the hardware rotation and problems began with the second part of wing commander; the first Wing Commander did not (!) need enormous hardware for its time; and what you say about the Amiga version being better is just wrong and if you had played the version against each other in 1993 or 1994 you would know it; WC1 had superb sound on my machine; may I ask you a question: did you actually read Picard´s review? is he talking bullshit, or what?
It´s quite easy to compare Amiga and PC screenshots of wing commander 1 doing a web search: it was no amiga game

I´m outta here, makes no sense arguing with you

why are they cracking down on these games? I doubt that they are going to spend the money to republish them it seems more like they want to deprive you of them in order to force you to buy newer games. . I'm kinda tired of the publishers crap.
Too many games that I have waited for and shelled out obsene amounts of money for have turned out to be piles of steaming poo that have been pushed thru development too quickly with far too many bugs.
Anyone who loved Starsiege Tribes and bought Tribes 2 knows exactly what I'm talking about. Ohwell at least Valve did a great job on HL2 :P

The DOS version blows the Amiga version out of the water!

Amiga version - 16 colors (No, not 32... it only has 16 for some reason...)
DOS version - 256 colors (VGA GRAPHICS! YES!! HAHAHAH!!) :brain:

Well, it works for me, at least the first mission. I played it in Windows and VDMSound, it was too fast.

In DOSBox, it works fine, but I slam myself into the asteroid
