Wing Commander III represented a major technological and cinematic leap for the Wing Commander series. The game made headlines with its multimillion dollar budget and all star cast lead by Mark Hamill, Tom Wilson, John Rhys-Davies, Ginger Lynn Allen, Malcolm McDowell and Jason Bernard. Some four hours of recorded video on green-screen sets conveyed the story in a true interactive movie fashion. The player could choose to make decisions about how conversations would play out, and this would affect the storyline and gameplay later on. Advanced animatronic puppet Kilrathi were used. WC3 featured top notch SVGA graphics and required a whopping 8 megabytes of RAM and CD-ROM drive. Wing Commander fans were warned with an advert included with Wing Commander Armada to bulk up their computers in time for WC3's release, and Origin partnered with local Austin companies to provide discounts to fans upgrading for their favorite franchise. Wing Commander III sold well over a million copies and was one of Electronic Arts' best selling PC games of the entire 1990s.
