         PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
         In the far reaches of the frontier lies Gemini Sector,
         your new home. Its string of outposts forms the Te~rain
         frontier. (iemini has become a breeding ground for
         smugglers and pirates, where deals are made with a
         handshake and broken be a volley from a Meson
         cannon.
         
         Privateer takes you to the seamy side of the Wing
         Commander universe. In the Gemini Sector, pirates,
         merchants, militia and mercenaries all struggle to make
         a quick buck in the shadow of the Kilrathi border. On
         this frontier, oppotunity abounds for the resourceful and
         the ruthless, and you choose your own path as you
         seek to pay off and modify your ship.
         
         It takes keen resource management and crack piloting
         skills to succeed. Between fighting off Kilrathi, trying to
         avoid bankruptcy and dodging asteroids in the Fariss
         Belt, a privateer's days are long, dangerous and full of
         adventure.
         
         KEY FEATURES
         IBM
         * You select your ship and modify it according to
           your needs. Choose the sleek Centurion fighter,
           the Orion tug, the trustworthy Galaxy-class
           merchant or stay with the decrepit Tarsus scout
           you inherited from your grandfather.
         * Forge your own alliances. You choose whether to
           live the life of a plrate, merchant or mercenary.
           As long as you make your ship's payments and
           keep a step ahead of your enemies! you're a free
           agent.
         * Includes a complete universe with more than 50
           bases and planets in more than 60 systems.
           Adventure, trade and exploration are limitless,
           even after the main game has been completed.
         * Origin's dynamic sound system matches the
           changing on-screen action.
         * Your enemies want more than a kill stenciled on
           their prow - they also want your cargo. The battle
           for salvage adds a new dimension to space
           combat when you try to tractor in valuables before
           pirates can get to them.
