I was running an Intel 486DX33 and it ran pretty good, I upgraded to the 
Intel 486DX2/66 and I have no complaints what-so-ever. I'm also running 
this off of a Double-Spaced drive with 8 meg Ram.

I did recently upgrade my Video Board so I'm running @ 2000/pixels per 
second under windows at 800 x 640.

Anyway...can't see why a 486/66 would give you unenjoyable play....you do 
have a math co-processor? That would probably speed up graphic and 
orientation intensive operations....

Good luck!
