Zak is clearly a LOT better (it's a "VGA" version, 256-color version being
more accurate for the FM-TOWNS). Loom is also a 256-color version, from
what I've heard, and has CD music, but no speech, so it's better (for the
music) and worse (for the speech) than the PC-CD version. As for Wing
Commander, I don't know, but would suspect some enhancements.

The FM-TOWNS is a Japanese computer that was release in the early 90s. I
think it featured a 386 processor and a CD-ROM drive, with some impressive
graphics and sounds capabilities for the time. Many western games were
released for this platform, including enhanced versions of Zak Mc Kraken,
Loom, Wing Commander, etc.
The Japanese have many specific machines: the X68000 computers, the
FM-TOWNS, the IBM PCjx (was released in Australia as well), etc., which are
most of the time a lot better than our western machines ;-)

The Origin Museum has all of the Wing Commander for FM-TOWMS, except for
Wing 2--that seems to be the difficult one to get.
Haven't played many of them yet, but the Armada is AWESOME!
