Interesting... on my 486/SX2, with only 4 Megs of RAM I can play it...
annoyingly at about an average of anywhere from 4-20 fps... (especially
slow when there are slopes around.. but version 1.1's build engine seemed
to have improved on this problem)... and yes with only 4 RAM... somehow
Windows 95 has enabled my 4 RAM machine to play this and other 8 RAM
requiring machines such as Phantasmagoria... oh well.. that's another
story.
