I just saw a ad for Links 386 pro in full color super VGA graphics 
(600 X 480 - or somthing like that) the pictures looked increadble!!
It has a record feature that records your entire game and then you
can give this to a friend who then can play against your game shot for shot.
It even comes with some prerecorded games so it is essentially like playing
against a computer.  It also allows for multiple windows giving different
views to be open at once.  All in all looks like a incredible game.  Makes
me glad I have a 386!
