ikantspelwurdz: Are you sure you're playing the 1998 version? You might not be. Both '93 and '98 versions are included.

Here's what the 1993 version looks like:

The 1998 version differs in several obvious ways. The mission briefing is voiced, the resolution is higher, the ships are textured and use vertex lighting, and the music is just the John Williams soundtrack on loop instead of the original MIDI score you see in that video.

DarthRevan2552: I don't really get all the craze behind the iMuse system. I mean, yeah, it's cool to have music that adapts to what's happening in game. But if I had to choose between a game with better graphics, more controller options, and is overall more responsive, and another version of the same game with worse graphics that make it difficult to see your target, no ability to easily map controls to your flight stick, and runs slower, but it has dynamic music as a counter balance, I would without a doubt choose the more playable version of the game.
Now, disclaimer, I did not grow up playing the X-Wing games, so I don't have the nostalgic connection to the original DOS version of the game. But, as a newcomer to the series, I definitely had a better time playing the 1998 special edition of X-wing than I did playing the original version. I don't really care about the lack of dynamic music or launch cutscenes. I just want to play the game. And, from what I've played, the '98 version played much better than the original DOS version.
