Wing commander wasn't my first game, but it was definitely the best back
then.  The WC series was designed for PC, and was converted to console for
limited play.  Too bad Chris roberts left origins and went to microsoft.
Freelancer was a whole-scale ripoff of the original privateer game, set in a
different universe because he was unable to acquire all of the rights.
Origins, now EA, doesn't want to revive the line.  The bastards.
