Description from the packaging.

Ten years ago, you were the hero of Vega Sector, idol of millions- the starfighter pilot who single-handedly turned the tide of a major Kilrathi invasion.

Then something went wrong.

You were disgraced, court-martialed and transferred to a backwater outpost. For years, your lightning-quick reflexes and instinctive dogfighting tactics went to waste while the Kilrathi killed your closest friends on the front lines.

But mankind still needs a hero, now more than ever before. And you're still the best pilot in the Galaxy. You've got just one chance to prove yourself, just one chance to keep the Terran homeworlds from falling to the massed armada of the Empire of Kilrah.

Think you can handle it, flyboy?

Wing Commander II is the sequel to the top action-simulation hit Wing Commander, "the closest thing yet to a genuine interactive movie for your PC." - Game Player's PC. But Wing Commander II is more than a sequel- it advances the state-of-the-art in computer gaming even further, with new features and new challenges.

  • A gripping storyline! All the action and drama you expect from a major motion picture but you're the star!
  • State-of-the-art graphics! The latest advances in 3-D rendering technology give you the most stunning, photo-realistic images you have ever seen on your computer.
  • Intriguing tactics! Fly five different Terran fighters into battle, armed with guns, missiles, torpedos, chaff pods, tailguns, turrets and tractor beams. But watch out- the Kilrathi have some hot hardware too!
  • Instant replay! Get an audience-eye view of your victories.
  • Digitized speech! Hear radio messages from your wingmen and foes. (Limited speech included with this game. Speech Accessory Pack required for complete speech; sold separately.)
  • Dynamic intelligence! Every dogfight is an exciting challenge, whether you're a novice or an ace of aces, because your opponents match your skill level. The better you fly, the better they fly!
  • A thrilling musical score! The soundtrack senses the action on-screen and alters the pacing, tempo and mood of the music to match.
  • An elaborate campaign system! The fate of humanity is in your hands!
