Hi, Years ago I recall a free download of one of the WC games, is this still available as I'd like to play it now that I've got a machine capable of doing it justice. Thanks in advance, -- Alan

As I understand it, the game engine is still open for download, but the episodes were a limited time offer. So basically, you can download the game, but you'll only be able to play one sixth of it. Your other option, of course, is to buy it on CD; it comes packaged alongside WCP under the name "Wing Commander Prophecy: Gold Edition". Regards, Quinch

There are a variety of fan mods, campaigns and games that work off the Secret Ops starter package as well.

It's all there, just checked. Full game, full game with speech, speech pack separately, and so on. Perhaps you're not going to the right place in the site? "Full game" meaning the game files and initial episode. -- *** Remove the DELETE from my address to reply *** ====================================================== Kevin Scholl http://www.ksscholl.com/ kscholl@comcast.DELETE.net ------------------------------------------------------ Information Architecture, Web Design and Development ------------------------------------------------------ We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of the dreams... ======================================================

The problem is that it seems the SO servers on which the game is hosted don't respond, and the mirror links have long since expired. Quinch
