Interesting! I'd love to see screenshots.
The Mac version of KQ6 has a slightly different intro, as well. It's still in 3D but it's shorter and the narration is somewhat different. In the Mac version, Alexander sees Cassima in the mirror but doesn't hear her calling out for him. It gives the game a different spin... he heads off to the Land of the Green Isles even though he doesn't know if she wants him to come or not. Kind of raises the stakes for Alexander.
A while back I managed to extract the movie from the Mac version and put it in a format that can be viewed in Windows Media Player. You can download it
here. There's no sound, unfortunately, and the framerate is a little messed up so it runs slower than the original movie. But at least it allows you to see how this movie is different than the one on the PC version. (It's a 20MB file but the zip is only 3MB.)
