No problems here. I run a 486/25SX (almost identical speed to a 386/40) with
a slow 512k video card, and I can run in full screen smoothly enough to play
for hours without getting annoyed.  Course you have to run in low detail but
who are they kidding, you don't even notice the diff between low and high
detail unless your sitting there staring at a picture on the wall or
something.  IE. you don't notice the diff when your really playing.
I also ran it on the schools 386/25 with no difficutly. A little slower, but
not much.  Both systems have 8 megs of ram, and I ran version .99.

: It sholdn't be, but you'll have to crank the screen size down a little
: bit.  I'd also consider the purchase of a math co-processor too!
: I'll be running it on my 386dx25 soon, but I'm a psycho!

Shouldn't be any problem as long as you keep it in low detail... and maybe
only let it mix 2 or 3 sfx instead of 4. (This sucks up a lot of cpu
time)...
