Wing Commander: Privateer

Games: Wing Commander: Privateer (DOS, 1993) · Wing Commander: Privateer - Righteous Fire (DOS, 1994)

OpenPrivateer: a modern reimplementation of Wing Commander: Privateer and its Righteous Fire add-on, running on the original game’s data files. It’s in public alpha, with builds for Windows, macOS, and Linux (x86-64 and ARM64). Its engine is developed in a private repository: the public repository holds the website and the downloads. According to the website, the bases work as in the original (the ship dealer, equipment, the commodity exchange, the bar, the guilds, and the mission boards), generated missions use the original’s encounters and scripts, and the Privateer campaign plays from Sandoval’s first offer to the closing credits; spaceflight, combat, and the AI were reconstructed from the original executable. Saves are compatible with the original game’s. It has a Classic mode, faithful to the original, and others that add optional conveniences, plus multiple ships per pilot, an experimental open universe that mods can extend, and remappable keyboard, mouse, joystick, and gamepad controls.

You needThe data files from your own copy of Wing Commander: Privateer. Plus 64-bit Windows, macOS, or Linux.
