Now are any of these games actually better on the FM Towns? Any of the 3
that you mentioned?

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 ;-)
