	Hmm, Hover runs great on my system (Pentium 66) perhaps you have 
a problem with your win95 setup. Go to System in control panel, and make 
sure your system is optimized for best 32 bit performance. 

	On the subject of games for win95, i saw Fury Cubed in action 
last night, and it looked great. Yes, it is Terminal Velocity, but the 
graphics are looking better, and are moving about much smoother than the 
old dos version. The music kicks ass to.
