I'd say the intro of the origin orchestra was very compelling. but between WC1 or WC2 I'd have to say WC2. it seemed to have more colorful graphics than the original and added speech
 
I voted WC3 for a few reasons:

1) I really wanted to go and mug Thrahkath when they show him, the Emperor and the assembled Kilrathi

2) Mark Hamill is the best actor in a sci-fi movie to date (even though his career has gone downhill many times)

3) The graphics are really improved from WC1 & 2

4) This game is what got me into WC in the first place
 
If you think Mark Hamill's career has gone downhill, you need to say that at the International Mark Hamill Fan Club page. Also look him up on at IMDB.com. WC3,4 and Prophecy are way down the list of stuff he's done.

Well, I think non-Mark Hamill nuts would generally say his career went downhill, in the sense that he hasn't really done anything high profile in a long, long time.

That doesn't mean he's not sucessful though...I used Tom Wilson just dropped off the face of the Earth until I found about his CD's and standup comedy and stuff. And Vagabond was on an episode of J.A.G.!

I was a member for IMHFC for two years, so I can tell from you from the botom of my hear, to shove it. Violently.

Hamill has been a very successful voice actor for quite a while now, aside from his voice of the Joker on Batman: TAS. Is he as high profile as he was way-back-when? Hell no, but what do you expect for someone who's first film appearance is a voice in a Ralph Bakshi movie? Eeew.

Arguably, playing an actor in a video game isn't high profile either. The man has to pay his electric bills just like anyone else. He's also a damned great guy; my friend Garrett over in USC is dating a family friend of the Hamills.
 
The guy who played Flash has done a few movies and such. Hamill has done lots of stuff in his career... I saw the A&E Bio on him and it was really interesting to know about all the Broadway work he did and such... Tom Wilson has kinda dropped off the planet and now does Church music... to each his own I guess...
 
Wilson still has to use up his film contracts. He does it by making cameos in shitty movies like "That Darned Cat" or "Camp Nowhere".

I think he's still on the comedy circuit though.
 
Back to the Future was on TV to other day... he is still fantasic in that series... it's a shame his career never went on from there... But then again, no one else could have played Maniac as well as him

He was a brilliant in a movie I beleive was called "April Fools Day". It was a horror movie about, well, April Fools day....

The only WC actors I haven't really seen anywhere else but in WC are Cobra, Vaquero, and Flint.

Hamill is obvious, he's done enough as is Tom Wilson. The only thing I can place Jason Bernard in is "Liar Liar", but i'm sure he's done other stuff too. John Rhys-Davies and Malcom McDowell are in plenty of things. I've seen the guy who played Vagabond in a few things, Ginger Allen has her genre (hehe), the guy who played Paulson is a charecter on the West Wing, Catscratch has been around (he was in that show with the Crow, right?), Hawk's been in plenty of things too.

Not that I don't think Mark Hamill is a fine human being... but I don't really see how your friend Garrett (over in USC!) is dating a friend of the Hamills in any way proves your point.
