Trivia
Originally, Mark Hamill was being considered for Maniac rather than Blair. Chris Roberts was having trouble casting Blair, and after meeting Hamill, he realized that the man who played Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars film franchise would be an ideal choice to play the hero of this game, so the part was offered to Hamill and he accepted.

Alternate Versions
The Playstation version also includes Hobbes' confession to Blair about being the traitor. This was also dramatized in the novelization. In both, Ralga nar Hallas explains that when Prince Thrakkath spoke the words, "Heart of the Tiger", his hypnotic trance (Which he had been under since 'defecting' in Wing Commander 1) was broken and he became Ralga once again, with all his memories and loyalties intact.

At the time this game came out, it was pretty cutting-edge. It combined a filmed storyline with a space simulator. It was leaps above Wing Commander 1 and 2, old VGA games. Plus it was one of the first games to take advantage of the real life video technology offered by the CD-ROM's arrival. Now-a-days it wouldn't seem so great, but back then it was phenomenal, especially for die-hard Wing Commander (WC) fans. WC 4 and Prophecy both use the basic game play setup developed in WC 3, largely due to its success. Another popular feature is the ability to choose different paths through the game, along with different difficulty levels. All around a great game.
