I've got a 386dx40 also, and it is fine in low-res mode.  In the high-res mode
I overcorrect with the joystick, so I've taken to using the keyboard for 
movement, and the joystick for shooting.

The reason I stick to high-res is because I like the pretty pictures!  Sure, the
movement is a little clunky, but I wouldn't do without the hi-res pictures!
