In case anyone is interested. I have never played it but listening to the rabid fanboys of the original Wing Commander thought some of you might be interested http://www.pcgamer.com/2014/08/05/wing-commander-3-heart-of-the-tiger-goes-free-on-origin/
I only wish that it didn't require Origin... but hey if it was free on Origin that should (imo) mean that the software is now public domain and obtainable through whatever method necessary
