In case you didn't know, Wing Commander 3: Heart of the Tiger is a classic 90s space shooter where you take control of several ships and from your cockpit do battle with the Kilrathi empire. As was somewhat of a fad in those days, the cutscenes are made in FMV (full motion video) with such actors as Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker himself!) and Malcolm McDowell (A Clockwork Orange, Doomsday).
Buckle up, recruit!
