Heh, heh. Want real fun, try playing the original DOS version of Falcon on
that Cyrix. Talk about poor programming, on a 286 it was pretty much
unplayable, which brought about Falcon AT. On a 386sx/16 you were dead
from crashing before you knew you had started playing! I remember Wing
Commander on that same 386sx/16 was pretty awsome, but way to fast for me
at least on my 486DX/33 when I got it. On the otherhand, something like
Master of Orion just gets better with faster systems!
