Heads Up!

It's no secret that the characters in Origin's "talking head" games were frequently based on real people. Here's a story about Sean Murphy as Zach "Jazz" Colson in Super Wing Commander (a questionable honor at best -- luckily he's also Space Quest's Roger Wilco). Now here's a second Wing Commander cameo... it's series creator Chris Roberts as RAF Lieutenant Edmond Skikes in Wings of Glory. Wings of Glory was Origin's penultimate RealSpace engine game, using technology that was also featured in Wing Commanders Armada, Heart of the Tiger and The Price of Freedom.
