Wing Commander is the first game in the Wing Commander series of
science fiction space simulation games, released on September
26, 1990 for the PC. It was designed and directed by Chris
Roberts and produced by Roberts and a pre-System Shock/Deus Ex
Warren Spector. Origin Systems was the developer and publisher.
The company would later be bought out by Electronic Arts in
1992, and EA would go on to publish future Wing Commander
titles, as well as use the Origin name for their future digital
download service.  Wing Commander was conceived to bring the
space combat genre to a level as high as the Star Wars films.
What made this game ahead of its time was its revolutionary 3D
graphics and simulation elements. The player is able to give
themselves a callsign as the name they will use, the player can
interact with their fellow pilots aboard the ship, fly many
different types of space fight
