I remember Wing Commander III having that explanation in the manual: sensors pick up what is happening outside the ship and simulate positional sound to increase pilot awareness.

Such an awesome game! I played that as a kid, I wonder if that's where this idea came to me from.

I still remember being in awe because of the whopping 4 CD-ROMS it came on, in a time where CD-ROM drives weren't even standard yet. Damn, I feel old now. 😂

It was so much ahead of its time. The storyline, the cinematic characters... I got a fighter jet joystick because of that game, sunk countless hours on it. Thanks for the memories!
