Quick Look Back at WC3 Promotion (April 22, 2011)

[ChrisReid]

Dino from Simulation World posted some fun pictures taken during the development of Wing Commander 3, when he was a PC magazine editor. Has it really been 17 years since WC3 was in development?! The last two pictures were posted to show off Mark Hamill's autograph, but that's a really awesome paper plate!

Very cool!

Now is it me or is that 1st plate picture sitting on top of a Mac?

"Coming to a PC near you..."


Ohhh how times have changed...

My goodness 17 years since this picture was taken! How the times and styles have changed. Its good to know that someone is keeping all of these pics and snippets of info. It may just be me being silly but I miss those years back when a AAA release actually meant something.

Oh man, I didn't even look at the plate when this was posted on Twitter--I am so jealous (not of the autograph, of the plate itself...)!

By the by, I had found this by watching Twitter for "Wing Commander", which I often do to harass anyone who mentions the game (yes, I'm *that* guy). I'm glad I did, though--Simulation World seems like a great site!
