Well I only ever first played F15 Strike Eagle II which was by miles better as a PC game, but Blue Sky turned Starflight into a winner for Sega. They should've ported it back over to PC.

Another one:
Star Wars TIE Fighter (interactive demo 1993)

Basically from what I read its a hybrid of TIE fighter and X-Wing. The cockpits aren't TIE fighters and the music is from X-Wing. Maybe a unique mission too?

BTW thanks for the great thread I love prototypes/demos/betas etc.

I've just got the demo (haven't played the full game), the cockpit definitely looks like that of a TIE Fighter, but it is different from what can be seen in the full version:


Here's the cockpit from the full version for comparison:


The demo mission also seems to be absent from the full game - at least, the walkthroughs seem not to mention anything like it.

The title screen in the full version is coloured differently as well.

Woah! Is it just me or the demo variant looks better? Now I need to check out that demo, thanks! I'll try to confirm that content issue, I've beaten the game probably 5 times (well, see my avatar, LOL! )...

EDIT: no, I don't remember that mission. Wikipedia confirms my findings: music, sound f/x and certain engine details retained from previous X-Wing. Lasers sound lame!
