TESIV Oblivion is 2006, Tachyon The Fringe is 2000... 1994's Wing Commander III: Heart of the Tiger has a whole IMDB page, with the likes of Mark Hamill, John Rhys-Davies, and Malcolm McDowell playing main characters.

And there's earlier games with less stellar casts, like 1991's Tex Murphy: Martian Memorandum. Actors in games have been a thing for quite a while.
