This is a review of Crusader No Regret from the October 1996 PC Gamer. The reviewer gets it spot on for me bringing attention to the lack of major changes to the original but not minding a bit:-

Also from the same magazine, a full-page ad for Privateer 2:-

Talking about trips worth taking, this blog will be going transcontinental in a months time as I travel to Austin for the week of GDC Online. Not sure how much blogging will get done but there should be plenty of Origin adventures to be had.

Privateer 2 Review – PC Review Magazine

This post is something of a novelty for this site in that it contains scans of one of most positive Wing Commander reviews you are ever likely to read, despite appearing in a UK gaming magazine (PC Review December 1996). This should go a small way toward redressing the journalistic balance on here. It still takes a potshot at Wing Commander 4 in the early paragraphs but describes Privateer 2 as “…probably the most polished PC game ever, and the most rewarding, ambitious and addictive computer game for a few years.” It also includes a short interview with Erin Roberts on the final page.

Courtesy of Escapade, here is a review of the first Crusader from the January 1996 Edge magazine. It was never my favourite gaming mag but they are very positive about Crusader describing it as proof that PC games can achieve a complexity and intelligence rarely matched on console:-
