I just bought a copy last night and I must say I'm very impressed.  I'm
running it on my Pentium 75, 8 megs of RAM, quad speed cd-rom drive.  I
wouldn't say it's flying, but it's definitely not slow. ( I haven't tried the
hi-res mode yet)  Minimum system requirements are:
DOS 5 or higher
486-66
8 MB RAM / 15 MB HD space (there are 3 installation sizes)
2X CD ROM drive,
512K SVGA card, VESA compatible

Recommended:
Pentium, Gravis gamepad (improves playability a lot)

I can't say much about the game since i've only played one game.  Playing in
pro mode, I found scoring to be a little harder than NHL95.  You get to
control where you shoot.  But I guess what is most stunning about the game so
far is its graphics and sound.

=Requires= 486/66 with 8mb RAM, 512k SVGA.

Recommended: Pentium with 16mb RAM (!)

I don't think I can play high res mode on my 486/66 with 20mb RAM,
though you can change the size of the window (as in DOOM), which may
help some.

Sound is amazing, truly stunning ambiance.

I can't run the high res mode acceptably with a 486/66, alas.

LADL-> upgrade???

upgrade offer, I should say -- $39.95 for prior owners (plus hefty
shipping charges -- pretty lame).
