Taking the Shirt off Mark's Back

On February 9, 1996, two days before Wing Commander IV's release, Origin held a promotional event at the Planet Hollywood restaurant in Beverly Hills to unveil the game and donate costumes used by Mark Hamill and Malcolm McDowell (original press release). We've uncovered three photographs showing the event in progress!

Wing Commander IV Storyboards - Scene 28

Scene 28 reintroduces Vagabond--along with the fairly odd concept that he apparently never loses at cards. Why does anyone continue to play with him?

These storyboard images were recovered from a backup CD containing materials belonging to Origin's web development team. They were dated November 17, 1995 and were likely planned for a never-completed web feature.
