I ran it on a 286/10 at my school (it doesn't work well on an XT, trust me) and
won it there. I thought the speed was quite acceptable. I got my 486/25 and
decided to try it there, but the game simply weirded out on me and died (I
could play for a couple seconds, but then the computer took control and locked
the system.).

Has anyone else gotten it to work on a 486?
