Paladin And Tobias

Remember Paladin from the WC series There's an uncany resemblance between him and Tobias huh?

Post Mon Mar 01, 2004 7:17 pm

Do you mean apart from the fact that he is well-rounded, bearded, and played by John Rhys-Davies?

Voiced by John Ryhs Davies (who played Paladin) too, so essentially they are pretty well much the same.

Trent sort of looks like Maniac in the early WC games ...

Oh yeah !! Maniac !

He was the *REAL* star of the Wing Commander series!

I worked with this idiot who was just like him some years before playing the games. I wonder what that idiot is up to now?!

I remember they killed off Maniac in one game, but realised that was a bad move. He was "resurrected" in later games and they sort of forgot that he'd ever "died"!

I liked when you made chioces about the game like weather you helped him or let him get his butt kicked. I liked having him mad rather than the marines

You can find some of the Wing Commander games on line. Just Google. Of course, the graphics will look pretty crude nowadays. The later games are quite all right though on today's computers. A feature I liked was that the way you played influenced the game. If you were doing badly, the enemy was driving your forces back and beating the **** out of you. If you did well, you had them on the run. In FL, you complete an SP mission or fail. Nothing in between.
