Chris Roberts is one of the most popular and richest Celebrity who was born on May 27, 1968 in Redwood City, California, United States. Best known for his work on such popular video games as Star Citizen, Freelancer, Starlancer, and Wing Commander, this designer worked for Origin Systems and later established production companies called Digital Anvil and Cloud Imperium Games Corporation.

He directed a 1999 movie version of his Wing Commander video game. The film, neither a popular nor a critical success, starred Freddie Prinze, Jr.

Roberts returned to the United States in 1986. He found a job at Origin Systems, where he created Times of Lore, published in 1988. The game’s interface had a strong influence on other Origin products such as the popular Ultima series. A similar game system was used in Roberts’s next release for Origin, Bad Blood (1990).

Wing Commander was published later in 1990 and was highly acclaimed. Wing Commander (and the franchise it spawned) soon became Origin’s most successful product. Roberts wasn’t as heavily involved in the sequel Wing Commander II, which he only produced. He instead concentrated on Strike Commander. First shown to the public at Summer CES 1991, the project suffered from numerous delays and was not released until 1993. He returned to Wing Commander soon after, devising the original concept for the spin-off Wing Commander: Privateer (which his brother, Erin Roberts, produced) and being more deeply involved in Wing Commander III and Wing Commander IV. For these sequels, Roberts directed the live-action cinematic scenes. Roberts’s major role in developing the Wing Commander games led Next Generation to name him one of their “75 Most Important People in the Games Industry of 1995”.

Though born in northern California, he was raised in Manchester, England. In the mid 1980s, he returned to the United States.
