We are still waiting on a suitable Amiga AGA emulator with robust recording features before tackling such games.

Player's Review
Wing Commander Secret Missions 1 Expansion pack - MS-Dos version.
The difficulty of this expansion pack is so insane, it could destroy any love you have for the wing commander franchise.
The odds are stacked significantly against you every mission, the game becomes a grind and I just endup hitting minimum requiments to pass the mission rather then worry about kill score. quite often you would be put into a crappy fighter so not designed to take on the mission given. I got so fed up towards the end of the game after many retries, nothing worse then going after the final fighter and the wingman decides to colide with the claw and destroy em both, every time!). So ive cheated the last few levels to get it done. Was either this or delete the footage and move on. Its seeing the story that matters right ?
Technical:
Dosbox 0.74 was uses to play and record this game. The Soundblaster emulation can appear buggy at times. 6000 cycles was set to try and make game managable, but game is still too slow and too fast at times. The inbuilt capture codec created akeyframe every 300 frames. This is a nightmare when it comes to editing without re-encoding source material. Rightly or wrongly, it also recorded at 70fps.
See you in Wing Commander Secret Missions 2 !!
