I’m thinking about downloading Wing Commander since I really enjoyed it as a kid and I’ve always wanted to play the other parts. Also are there any games like wing commander that would be enjoyable?

Descent: Freespace 1 and 2 are both very similar to Wing Commander but a few years more recent. They were both well received.
Wing Commander: Privateer was definitely my favorite Wing Commander, but it's different from the main series. It was then followed by Freelancer, made by the same guy who did Wing Commander, before he was given infinite money lost his mind while making Star Citizen. Freelancer is from 2003, so slightly less "retro". Privateer and Freelancer are both more about making your own way in a big universe and less about being a soldier and playing a series of missions. If you want more player freedom at the expense of less plot and cutscenes, definitely check them out. The modern version of these games is egosoft's X3 and it's expansions, which I recommend if you aren't specifically looking for retro, but the more recent X: Rebirth and X4 are both trash.
