Wing Commander III combined high-resolution graphics with the RealSpace engine, producing a massive leap in graphics later than its predecessor, Wing Commander II, and presented a full motion video (FMV) featuring a cast of high-caliber actors including Malcolm McDowell, Tom Wilson, John Rhys-Davies, and Mark Hamill as the player character, Colonel Christopher Blair. Wing Commander III is currently available from gog.com (from September 13, 2011) and EA Origin (from June 12, 2014). Extensive background information for Wing III Commander is available at CIC. When Wing Commander III was released, CD-ROM discs capable of using 74-minute CDs were still relatively new in the home PC. Fearing that they would alienate much of the already small market if they used larger-capacity drives, Origin published WC III for PCs on four 64-minute CDs, resulting in a series of FMV sequences being cut out of the game. Most of them were trivial, however perhaps one of the most important scenes, Hobbs' explanation was also shortened. Various versions of these missing FMV can be found on CIC, as well as various behind-the-scenes clips and even a full-length fan movie. On March 22, 2012, wing Commander Saga released its main campaign, The Darkest Dawn. Based on the Freespace 2 engine, The Darkest Dawn recreates the growing tension of war between the Terran Confederacy and the Kilrati Empire as it inexorably heads towards its dramatic conclusion, as presented in Wing Commander III, but in terms of a relatively inexperienced pilot aboard the aircraft carrier, TCS Hermes. Hermes and her companions are involved in actions closely related to the events of The Commander of Wing III, but on a much larger, grand scale fleet unlike the personal war of the Heart of the Tiger from Victory TCS. Wing Commander Saga: The Darkest Dawn is a free download designed by fans for fans. Users of Mario HCl Brito Wing Commander Movie Player can find the TRE Index compiled by Wedge to have some use in sorting movies. In addition, CIC has another guide to movies.
