"Wing Commander, first released in 1990 by Origin Systems, is a simulation-style action game interwoven with a cinematic storyline set in the 27th century. It does not attempt to model real-world physics with a completely accurate simulation of space flight, but concentrates instead on providing a fun, intense, first-person space dogfighting experience. Several things distinguished it from other games upon its initial release: the graphics, music, and sound were all revolutionary, surpassing most (if not all) other competing products in the industry at the time. The storyline, of which a short segment unraveled after each mission the player flew, had many plot devices rarely used before in a computer game of its type: character development, interpersonal conflict, ethics, and more. To date, the series has sold a total of over 3 million units worldwide." -- excerpt from WC3 FAQ, by James HoganChris Roberts is the mastermind behind the WC series. After the release of Wing Commander IV, Roberts left Origin to start his own company. Although all future WC titles will still be produced and distributed by Origin/EA, Roberts will continue to work closely with the Origin WC team. In fact, the upcoming WC movie is being directed by Roberts.
