Anecdotes
This game gives the player character the official name of Colonel Christopher Blair. The previous two games featured the same character, but his name was determined by the player. It has long been speculated that the name "Blair" was a contraction of "Bluehair", the moniker that was given to the main character on Wing Commander discussion boards. The program code also referred the player as "Bluehair", which became apparent if the game files were examined with a hex editor.

Gaffes
Paladin is listed in the credits as "Maj. James 'Paladin' Taggart" (Maj. means Major). However during the game he is referred to as "General Taggart" and like Admiral Tolwyn he wears a cross-shaped rank insignia badge, indicating a high rank. He was only a Major in the first Wing Commander game, in Wing Commander II he has been promoted to Colonel.

Citations
Maniac: Well, well, if it isn't the Colonel. I'm sorry I couldn't make your welcoming party.
Blair: Well, I guess you had more "pressing" maneuvers to undertake, Maniac.
Maniac: When duty calls, I'm there.
[whispers]
Maniac: Women like the smell of success.
Blair: Uh-huh. You know I'm surprised you haven't been blown out of the sky by now, Maniac... by friendly fire.
Maniac: Some people appreciate my flying style. I do what's necessary to win, OK? I suppose you still fly with one eye on the regs manual?
Blair: I don't take stupid risks.
Maniac: Speaking of stupid, I also heard you put Hobbes back on the flight roster.
Blair: My, my. Word travels fast on this tub.
Maniac: Never understood what you saw in that cat.
Blair: Simple, I need a wingman I can count on.
Maniac: You can't trust someone who will kill their own kind.
Blair: Who I choose as my wingman is my prerogative, it's privildge of rank.
Maniac: I'll bet you stay up late nights just polishing it, huh?
Blair: No, as a matter of fact I have Majors who do that for me.
Maniac: The difference in our rank is a formality. We both know who's better in the cockpit.
Blair: Yeah. We do.

Autres versions
The Playstation version of the game replaces two ground attack missions with cut scenes of the fighters running their attacks. In addition after the player drops the Temblor bomb on Kilrah another cutscene shows the fighter's egress before the planet begins to break up. Throughout the PC game there were originally news cast video scenes that hinted to the player various tactical advances on the part of the enemy. Unfortunately these were cut in the end.

Good TV series and great space simulator in One game!

Everybody are blinded by good or bad "acting" these days. Here we have a standart space mission "target destroyed" game mixed with TV sci-fi series. But the cast for these series is quite strong in terms of "acting". Thomas F. Wilson - the star of Back to The future trilogy - gives high quality perfomance, so the video scenes are far superior than you can expect from computer game or even TV space opera. Other actors create believable athmosphere with passion. Ginger Lynn makes me forget her adult-film past for a moment. She looks great as geek-girl mechanic. Mark Hammil hooks you with his enthusiasm as allways. I should mention great sound design and beautifull costumes of Cat Aliens. The game engine itself is wisely standard or primitive in a genius way. Space fighter simulation is cozy and playable. I like it better than Tie Fighter and X-Wing. Wing Commander 3 and Wing Commander 4 are the best space fighting simulators of the 90s in my opinion. And one of the best games of all time. There are some weak points though. Not weak, but kind of empty spaces. When you choose the wrong path in the game, you can fight the main enemy ship (it's huge). Whether you good or bad pilot, you can't fight back your chances. But it's a very small detail in this fantastic game which I highly reccomend.
