In the 1990s, during an explosion of popular Star Wars video games (X-Wing, TIE-Fighter, Rebel Assault, Dark Forces) Mark Hamill starred in an epic space combat simulator game that was surprisingly not Star Wars. The cut-scene heavy flight simulator Wing Commander III: Heart of the Tiger first released for DOS-based PCs and Power Macs in ‘94, and by July 1995, the game’s footprint expanded as it hit the 3DO gaming console. This moment solidified its massive popularity, which led to a PlayStation release in 1996.
