Commercial products just for miniatures wargamers and awareness as a single community of people with similar interests date back to the 1950s with the efforts of Jack Scruby ; major developments in the field since then include the rise in the 1960s and 1970s of fantasy and science fiction wargames as an alternative to games based on historical conflicts, and the emergence of companies like Games Workshop, Battlefront, Foundry, Warlord Games, Privateer Press and many others.

The game is played with white metal and plastic miniatures manufactured by Privateer Press representing military characters from the Iron Kingdoms D20 Role Playing Game setting.

In the PC game Wing Commander: Privateer, a fanatical quasi-religious group, called the Retros, wishes to overthrow all forms of technology, even if doing so, they themselves have to use it in order to fulfill their goal.

Elite was a hugely influential game, serving as a model for more recent games such as Space Rogue, Eve Online, Freelancer, Jumpgate, Infinity: The Quest for Earth, Wing Commander: Privateer, the Escape Velocity series and the X series of space trading games.

Starting with Wing Commander III, every game ( excluding Secret Ops ) contained cutscenes that incorporated live action filming, starring several major Hollywood actors, including John Rhys-Davies, Mark Hamill, Thomas F. Wilson and Malcolm McDowell, as well as Christopher Walken, John Hurt, and Clive Owen in Privateer 2: The Darkening.

The game is currently in the process of being remade by the Privateer Gemini Gold Project.

Four titles were initially announced: Conquest: Frontier Wars, a Command & Conquer-style game set in space ; Loose Cannon, a racing game similar to the later Driver and Grand Theft Auto games ; Starlancer, a space combat game in the Wing Commander tradition, and the company's flagship, Freelancer, an ambitious unofficial follow up to Wing Commander: Privateer.

Notable early game credits of Hannigan include Sim Theme Park, Space Hulk, Conquest: Frontier Wars, Wing Commander: Privateer 2: The Darkening and FreeLancer, and he has created and remixed tracks for numerous titles on the EA Sports label, along with creating scores for the BAFTA-nominated titles Evil Genius and Republic: The Revolution.

She also provided the voice for the onboard ship's computer ( coincidentally ) named Dani in the computer game " Privateer 2 ".

Strike Commander has been called " Privateer on Earth ," due to the mercenary role-playing in the game.

It was also available in a CD bundle with Wing Commander: Privateer ; both games included the core game, the expansion pack and voice pack on a single CD-ROM disc.

She also appeared in the 1996 space adventure game Privateer 2: The Darkening.
