I just loaded up Wing Commander the first one and after I started a game it asked me for some info from the game docs in order to let me play. I just stared at if for a while in total dumb disbelief. Boy its been a while since I had that happen 😳 I guess it's a good thing I still had the orginal box full of the orginal stuff it came with. 😜

Heheh search the web for an old DOS program called Neverlock, many orignal Wing Commander users, (me included, and I own it!), used Neverlock to stop it from asking those questions.

Hmm, think I even remember one of the questions exactly, even though it's been years since I've seen it asked:

'What is the ESK rating of the Pilum FF Missile'
I think the rating was 9500...🤣...how's that for a good memory? 😉

Yeah now that you mention it I have NeverLock but it is on a 5.25 disk. I think its on the old PCSIG cd's too so I see if I can find those 🙄
