Recently, digging through old files on my backup drive I came across this gem, ca. 1990:

Wing Commander 1   PASSWORDS
WEIGHT OF A RLARI-18000
SAFE SPEED IN AN ASTEROID FIELD-250
MAX RANGE FOR FF MISSILE-12000
MAX RANGE FOR  AN IR MISSILE-8000
VELOCITY OF THE DART DF MISSILE, IN THE RAPIER BLUEPRINTS-FF& IR ESK-9500
AGE OF MANIAC-23
FRONT ARMOR  OF THE FRALTHI-28
LAZER CANNONS MAX RANGE-4800
DF MISSILE ESK-11000
TIGERS CLAW LAUNCHED IN-2644

On a whim, I Googled Wing Commander and found the app & a DOS emulator. Both worked and within minutes I was back on the Tiger’s Claw fighting the Kilrathi. I just loved this game (and WCII) so much.
