Wing Commander is a series of space fighter simulation games developed by Origin Systems in the 90's. Origin Systems was based in Austin, Texas, and was most famous for the Wing Commander, Crusader, and Ultima series. You should have heard of Ultima if you were at all interested in fantasy/roleplaying games in the 90's, and I think I remember Crusader having a pretty big hype back when it came out, as well. They also published System Shock, the granddaddy of Bioshock (and a hell of an innovative game).
Unfortunately, Origin pretty much died after EA bought them. In the gaming world at that time, EA was a killer of game developers (... buying them and then disbanding them so that they didn't have to deal with competition... well... if you were lucky. If not, they'd set up a bullshit court suit up against you and just wait it out until you drowned in legal fees and debt because you couldn't release your games until the court suit was settled, but they could just wait it out forever due to being a huge corporate juggernaut. EAs not as bad anymore... but I still hate their asses for what they did to Origin... Origin was so ahead of its time in every game...
Anyway...
Wikipedia Set in the 27th century, the games tell the story of humanity's war against the Kilrathi, an alien species of large feline bipeds. Launching from carrier ships, the player fulfills various missions in starfighters. The games were all notable for their storytelling through extensive cutscenes. Starting with Wing Commander III, every game (excluding Secret Ops) contained cutscenes that incorporated live action filming, starring several major Hollywood actors, including John Rhys-Davies, Mark Hamill, Thomas F. Wilson and Malcolm McDowell.
They just looked really damn good for the time. I remember when I used to play Privateer all night long... Privateer was fun... it was a sandbox space simulator game back in 1993... a real work of art for back then. Heck, the original Wing Commander in 1990 was revolutionary, too.
