Trivia

Of course, being a "showcase" game for CD-ROM technology and the major possibilities of FMV games, LucasArts ported Rebel Assault to the Sega CD system, Macintosh, and a very, very obscure Japanese computer called FM Towns, all which are either CD-based or use CDs as a readable medium.

How do the ports vary? The Macintosh version looks the same as the PC version. The Sega CD one, however, seems to have a problem with very choppy video and terribly dithered colors (the Sega CD can only display up to 64 colors on screen at once in its normal video modes). I've never seen the FM Towns one, so I can't comment on that one.
