Pros and cons of WCPG versus WCP:

+: Has Secret Ops included
+: Better Manual

-: No Starmap (except for the British version that has the map)
-: Only available in English.

IIRC in PC WC Deluxe Edition I got a Tiger's Claw magazine(manual), 2
ship blueprint sheets, reference card, tech card, and instruction
cards for Secret Missions 1 & 2.

Cheers; My Amiga version of Wing Commander *which just arrived* came with
blueprints for Raptor, Scemitar and Hornet-type fighters. Aswell as the
"Ship's Magazine" and Generic Play Card.

   The "Warbirds" poster also came in at least a couple versions.
Standard WC3 got black & white, Collectors got color.

>WCIV (Or Prophecy?) Came with a Star-Chart.

   Prophecy standards.  Certain Prophecy games also had different
manuals with weapons that were ultimately removed from the game.

   Nope.. there's very little overlap between those sorts of things.  KS
came with a calendar (which just went on ebay), but otherwise was
primarily the bigger manual.  Some versions of KS had a spiral bound
manual.

   Not a lot you can put in small boxes these days.

 Be aware that different versions of WC1 came with different blueprint
sheets.  Some were-double sided (only 2 papers), some had four separate
pages of blueprints (4 papers).  WC1 came in a million different
flavors.. ranging from the high and low density 3.5 and 5.25" disc
versions, CD versions and special releases, to amiga and international
releases.  It also came up on Sega CD with full voice, Super Nintendo
and the Japanese FM Towns console, among others.  Collecting truly every
version of WC games is pretty terribly difficult.  I've got a dozen or
so different WC1's and there are many LOAF and Joe from the Origin
Museum have that I don't.
