Maybe it's already old news, but I just realized Echo Sector is no more. The last good archive is here https://web.archive.org/web/20241001005001/ht … echosector.com/.

2 of my all-time favourite games.

Just started playing again Remorse for another countless time, and was wondering if anyone ever tried de-interlacing the videos like those in the Wing Commander games.

Missed Origin.

Well,

But echo sector is still living @ https://echosector.org/ (smile)
Autor of the site had lost the domain name, that all.

That would be awesome. I personally keep the videos at small because they're easier to comprehend that way. The full size+black lines come out too distracting. Wing got lucky it had the DVD re-release.

Remorse stands out to me with its character interactions and the shop. Weazel's responses are always hilarious. Regret plays better, but lost the cool-down hub between levels, where you can "chill" with people and recharge a bit. Instead it's just one mission right to the next non-stop.

Eventhough the relation between Wing Commander and Crusader worlds was debunked.. I still like to think they existed in the same universe.. where the silencer's actions ultimately led to the dismantling of WEC and later the formation of confed.
