sign of the times

We've had actors in videogames for as long as there's been the ability to play samples at a high enough quality. Hell, the 90s FMJ era was full of them. Some good, some not so good.

Who starred in a 90s FMV game that was anywhere near as big as Keanu or Idris?

[–] khepri@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Shatner for one, who at the time was arguably still the most-recognizable name in sci-fi TV and movies.

Mark Hamill, John Rhys-Davies, and Malcolm McDowell (among others) in Wing Commander III Heart of the Tiger (1994), for instance..?
