Have you ever heard about the MacOS-Port of "Star Wars: X-Wing"? Have you played it? Are you curious to find out more about it?
Now you can.

YT-user Manuel Jesus recently uploaded some footage of this rare version of our beloved classic:

Basically, it is some sort of transitional version between the MS-DOS CD-ROM Edition and the Windows 95-port.
That one includes the new high-res cutscenes, concourse/rooms and upscaled cockpits while keeping the MS-DOS flight engine (in SVGA) as well as the iMuse soundtrack.

So this version of X-Wing had 800x600 resolution unlike teh Windows special edition? Damn, I would still play this over the Win95 versions of both games any time!
