Description
Professionally scripted and filmed in Hollywood, ORIGIN's multi-million dollar production combines the entertainment of film-making with the interactivity of computer gaming. The result is far more than an action packed and spectacular spaceflight experience. Become immersed in a futuristic adventure that combines Hollywood's movie making expertise with the adrenaline-pumping game play of a space combat simulation. You are the star, your actions will determine the eventual outcome of the Terran Confederation. Adrenaline, romance, humor, danger - Wing Commander III has all this and more. This sequel completes the turbulent chronicles of the Terran-Kilrathi war. The final showdown is near and only you can write the ending.

  • Cinematic atmosphere - over 3 hours of live-action video, brilliant orchestral score, plus dozens of hours of absorbing gameplay
  • Non-linear story with over fifty intense and challenging scenarios
  • Pilot five distinct fighters, armed with fully configurable weaponry that lets you adapt to best fulfill the mission objectives

Joystick controls are horrible

This game freezes on multiple computers and the joystick will stop working in the middle of missions. That is all I got to say about it. GOG should fix this before they sell it!

GoG... Wow... question?

Does this version come with .ISO's of each CD so I can burn them to disc--to play them on a pure DOS machine? You know, with an AWE 32, etc., DOS joystick and more?

Is this helpful to you?

Won't launch.

Dosbox asks for a CD ROM to launch and will not. Instant 0/1. If this is on super-sale or free, I do recall this being an epic game from a forgotten era. However, unless it can actually be launched, any price attached is simply a cash grab. If it won't launch. No error. No anything. It doesn't matter how good it was. Avoid this until they fix it. For reference, they've had since 1994 to "fix it". No, I do not have any tolerance for not being able to play what I paid for, regardless of how fine a reason was given. Regrettably, the review section is plagued by fond memory reviews, not actual, current-day reviews. Check the date stamps. Verify for yourself.
