An imc file is a resource file used by LucasArts computer games. It contains audio data used during gameplay rather than a standalone recording intended for ordinary media players.
The format is associated with the MS-DOS versions of Star Wars: Dark Forces and Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, and with the Microsoft Windows version of X-Wing Alliance.
An imc file is normally loaded by the LucasArts game that uses it and is not intended to be opened separately. Use the relevant MS-DOS game for Star Wars: Dark Forces or Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, or the Microsoft Windows version of X-Wing Alliance.
General-purpose audio players are unlikely to recognize this game resource format.
There is no standard audio conversion process for an imc file. It is a game resource rather than a conventional audio file, and the original game expects it in its own files.
Keep the file with the game data it came with. Converting the contained audio would require a tool specifically designed to extract sound data from the relevant LucasArts game, if one is available.
