Wing Commander III Heart of the Tiger PS1
Wing Commander III: Heart of the Tiger is the third main game in Chris Roberts’ Wing Commander science fiction space combat simulation video game series, developed and released by Origin Systems in December 1994. It was a departure from previous games in the series in that it uses extensive live action full-motion video to add an interactive movie-style presentation to the space combat gameplay, emphasized by its advertising slogan, “Don’t watch the game, play the movie!”.

The game’s more than two hours of video featured a number of prominent movie stars including Mark Hamill as Colonel Christopher “Maverick” Blair, Malcolm McDowell as Admiral Tolwyn, John Rhys-Davies as James “Paladin” Taggart and Thrakhath nar Kiranka, and Tom Wilson as Todd “Maniac” Marshall. Wing Commander is a space combat simulator intercut with live action cutscenes. Gameplay involves completing missions and destroying enemy craft.

Wing Commander III dispensed with the issuing of medals after such missions and relied more on cutscenes to drive the story along, making much more use of CD technology. As the man giving the orders, Blair often gets to choose what ship he will fly, what missiles it will carry, and what wingman (wingmen) he will take with him. As in Wing Commander, some wingmen can be killed permanently in combat. Blair’s own call sign remained customizable.
