    Origin can give me £3.99 and I'll give it a go. Isn't that the guy from Start Wars?

    Yep... that's Luke Skywalker. Going to download now... never played it, but hey it's a free game and since I already have an Origin account, why not. Thanks for the heads up!

    It was a great game in its day, played it (and still have it on) the 3DO. bought the complete Wing Commander set on a GoG sale bundle a couple of months back. There are i think 2 endings depending on which way you act in a few scenes. The actual ship gameplay can get samey after a while but there are a few other famous people in it, the two that spring to mind are malcolm mcdowell and the guy who plays Biff from Back to the Future
