WCIII was a defining moment in PC gaming history. Bringing full motion video (FMV) to the space combat genre with player choices and conseqences was completely revolutionary at the time. Taking advantage of quickly improving game engine technology along with the relatively new multimedia capabilities of CDROM drives and sound cards WCIII is a landmark in PC gaming. Mark "Luke Skywalker" Hamill and Thomas "Biff Tannen" Wilson lead an excellent cast for the FMV portions of the game and along with the engaging story are a big reason why this game still holds up after all these years. The included "extras" like the deleted scenes and behind the scenes vids make this a priceless purchase for me as I had never seen them before and watching the behind the scenes video really brought back great memories. I still have the original WCIII, WCIV, and WCV games in their original boxes and have played them every couple of years or so via DosBox, etc... but the fact that GOG has put together a great installer that makes WCIII easy to install and play on modern PCs will hopefully bring many non-techie PC gamers into the WCIII fan club. At a price of $6 dollars every PC gamer of any age should buy this game from GOG now. As a side note.... there is a great non-commercial website call Wing Commander CIC that has a ton of fan related stuff and is really a great place to fully explore the Wing Commander games and universe. This site has been around for over a decade and the love and care the admins have put into the site over all these years really shows. (no google ads, pop-ups, adverstisements, etc)
