Trivia:

Up until the release of this game, the main character was referred to by the player's own name. It has long been speculated that the name "Blair" was a contraction of "Bluehair", the moniker that was given to the main character on WC discussion boards. The program code also referred the player as "Bluehair", which became apparent if the game files were examined with a hex editor.

Quotes:

Admiral Geoffrey Tolwyn: Well, what would you aim for if you had the biggest gun in the universe?

How Wing Commander III pulls you in.

I got Wing Commander III from my dad for my birthday. I had never even heard of it, but I saw that Mark Hamill was in it and that got me interested. The cool graphics, the live-action cut scenes, and the entire fun of space simulation soon had me hooked. Afterwards I have purchased Wing Commander IV and Wing Commander Prophecy and hope to get Wing Commander: Secret Ops soon. Overall, this game is very fun and addictive.
