I remember one of them had Malcolm McDowell as Admiral Tolwin.

Two actually, III and IV.

Nice! I only played one of them. Whichever one has him say the line “The price of ~~peace~~ freedom is eternal vigilance.” It’s been a loooong time but I remember that very cool quote.

That's from IV, and you're almost correct, it's "the price of freedom" instead of "peace". But very memorable indeed!
