About the game

Between missions you watch full live-action film scenes and pick what Blair says, which changes relationships and the story.

The space combat moved to fully 3D textured ships, a big jump from the earlier games.

History

Developed by Origin Systems, directed by Chris Roberts, and released in 1994.

Wing Commander IV, with an even bigger film budget, followed in 1996.
