It’s a war of stars when the return of that guy who played a Jedi causes the Empire to strike back. An Empire of space cats, that is. Aaron takes on Wing Commander 3 for the PC. [In case I screwed up the annotations, when this video was originally made, GOG.com did not have Wing Commander 3 available. They have since added it, and it's a great game for $6.]
Jimmy the Geek writes: When was the first time you were blown away by a game? I remember distinctly what it was for me. Back in the 90’s a video game TV show The Zone showed footage from a game that looked like a movie. Like something you would see in the cinema. It had everything: Space ships, explosions, A big cat style monster and an all star cast including Mark Hamill and Tom Wilson (or as I knew them at the time Luke Skywalker and Biff). This was the first time the potential of what could be done with a game was evident to me. The game in question was Wing Commander III: Heart of the Tiger and it is still incredible.

Awesome write-up. I'm really confused as to why Geobros keeps reporting it though, nothing he's reported applies to the article directly, so...
Oh, Yuri's Revenge! So many awesome memories about whole fleets of wobbly flying saucers laying waste to everything!
Before Chris Roberts fell into a Star Citizen shaped vat of internet money he was one of the main chaps behind the Wing Commander series. If you’ve played any of those and fancy the chance to do so for free, Wing Commander 3: Heart of the Tiger is free on Origin for the time being.
