I noticed an interesting thing about Wing Commander 1 that I’be never seen mentioned anywhere.

If you pay close attention to the dialog of characters and their talking animations, you’ll notice that all dialog has accurate lip syncing, even though they never made a release of that version (the 3DO version has voice acting, but it’s essentially a remake with totally different assets).

I figured a clever programmer synced up certain phonetics with an appropriate animation frame, or someone hand animated all the dialog for a potentially planned but never implemented voice over.
