Higher quality video, full color VDUs, alternate mission layouts (i.e., different enemies at different points) and generally a mode 'arcade' sense. Pre-rendered video segments replace ground missions. Includes a few new ships and gun platforms.
Macintosh
Same as the PC release.
Playstation
Surprisingly similar to the original PC version. Has some video sequences added (news reports).
