- I sure appreciate this tip, would you also know of any good games for
- folks who don't have fancy 386/VGA equipment. All I have is a Packard Bell
- PB8810. It gets upto about 10Hz in "turbo" mode and has CGA graphics. I
- tried some of the Apogee games and they run, but they run SO SLOW that it
- takes all the fun out of playing. Games that run good on my system are oldies
- like Novatron or 3-Demon, but they are pretty childish and I'd really like
- something with good graphics that is a little more challenging.
