    An uncatalogued Wing Commander II SNES screenshot has been discovered! This screenshot was hidden on the review index page of the April 1995 issue of Electronic Games. It shows the game's double-VDU'd Ferret and a never-before-seen look at its newly created VDU art for the Kilrathi Sartha fighter.
