Before Tomb Raider, Wing Commander Prophecy Pushed the Gameboy Advance Hardware!

Find the no-cut IPS display I have here: http://lon.tv/x7v2 (compensated affiliate link) – The @Modern Vintage Gamer posted a great video about a Tomb Raider port on the GBA from the OpenLara project. It reminded me of another game that pushed the hardware: an amazing port of Wing Commander Prophecy – a 1997 PC title that made use of 3D accelerators. We’ll take a look at the port and my love of Wing Commander in this Retro video!
