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! Kevin
