Privateer Remake Complete 251
flyboy writes "In a similar vein to the remakes of the Origin's Ultima series games reported in 2001 and 2004 a group of Wing Commander fans has remade Wing Commander: Privateer. Unlike the Ultima remakes, the Privateer remake is finished at version 1.0 with 3d graphics and the whole storyline. For the new kids on the block, WC:Privateer was a much loved trading game similar to the more venerable Elite, which appears also to be in the process of a remake. As a linux fan I was most happy with the remake's use of GPL 3d engine software and release of Linux, Macintosh and Windows versions. See Screenshots here."

New business plan:
* post a privateer story on
* wait for servers to melt on the load
* come in your ship filled with additional hardware
* PROFIT!

Yeah... It's only been twelve years since the original game was released. I wouldn't want to ruin everything.
P.S. don't tell me what happened in Super Bowl XXVII. I taped it and haven't had a chance to watch it yet.

You'd better hurry... shelf life for Betamax is only ~ 10 years before the picture degrades.

But thanks for the correction anyway. A freudian slide I guess.
