Wing Commander 3 came out in 1994. And while you’d think, after two decades of persistent attention from the fan community, that the game would have given up all of its secrets, it turns out that it had at least one more secret to reveal. Our friends at the Wing Commander CIC reported, yesterday, on the discovery of an alternative set of credits buried on one of the game’s data files:

AD was spending some leisure time perusing the data tre files from Wing Commander 3 when he stumbled upon an interesting easter egg! His hacking revealed a set of alternate spoof credits for the game, and there’s more in-jokes in there than you can shake a stick at. One famous example is the callsign of Prem “Wipeout” Krishnan who earned his name after inadvertently deleting Strike Commander’s source code in progress! It doesn’t appear that there’s a way to display this text in WC3 itself, but you can find the full secret credits here. Wing Commander 4 also includes funky credits, which can actually be accessed in game from the main terminal.
