You know I asked this question before and I havn't recieved many
responses. One response was that it would have 16-bit graphics, have a
color dashboard as opossed to a green dashboard(whatever this means),
have dolby stereo surrond sound and etc. Since I don't know the specs
of the PC version other than it will be able to run in SVGA I don't know
what # of bits it will use in graphics. From what I heard the graphics
and overall play on the 3DO version will be better than the one on the
PC, since the 3DO was specially configured for this type of game. To
answer your question when it will come out for the 3DO I also hear that
it will be out around spring time or late winter.

Lesse:
reponses++;
16 bit color - graphics
color inflight comm messages (pc will have green inflight comm messages due to
256 color limitation)
Dolby Surround, YES!
PC will run in SVGA (640x480) with 8 bit (256) colors.
Gameflow (that part of the game that allows you to walk around the ship and
talk to characters) is the portion that the 3DO will really shine with, and is
one of the parts I'm personally involved with, along with Brent Thale (from
Super Wing Commander fame).
Your shipping date is close, but I'd lean it a little earlier. (Depending on
if the groundhog sees his shadow or not. :>)

Super Wing Commander Fame?? That game sucked! ;) What everyone needs to be
watching for is "Storm" (Acutal name pending) from Origin... it rocks!

Hey! You guys can redeem yourselves <g> by doing even a BETTER job on
porting for a SWC -II-, eh?
(eh?!? EH?!? =)
The drama!, the dialogue!, but most of all, the legalized gambling
inbetween...!
BTW, though, what exactily is Storm...?
