Just played a round of good ole fashioned "Rebel Assault" and for
the first time realized that the startup-screen says:
REBEL ASSAULT
VERSION 1.0
Are there higher/lower versions out there?
If so, what are the differences?

I finished this game recently; I figured I should have a go of it before Wing Commander III. Took me just three and a half days to whip through it on medium difficulty.
Such mixed feelings... After my first impression playing level 1 a month or so ago, I'm disappointed. Most of the levels use the cockpit view, which is the least enjoyable of the four modes for the most part; I was hoping for better variety. It's difficult to determine if an asteroid is headed in your direction or not, the FMV quality is terrible, the story feels half-hearted, and most crucially, the jerky controls are very difficult to get used to.
And yet... I have to say that I think I enjoyed the ride. Frustrating as Chapters 6 and 12 are, I felt a healthy rush of exhilaration when I completed them. The ultra-short levels are a nice change of pace, and naturally it's a thrill to shoot down an Imperial walker.
After beating the game, I even went back to a level where I failed the secondary objective to try completing it. Rather a guilty pleasure game for me.
