- Although the box says "386sx or better recommended", GUS users with
- 286 computers should not be afraid of buying the game. I have a 286 16MHz
- and the game works flawlessly with sharp animations and WONDERFUL music!!!
- I'll have to tape the soundtrack!!! It's soooooo good!!!!!
- Looks like the game use the MOD technology to produce music and
- sounds on the SB and SBPro. Am I right? Maybe that's why they recommend a
- 386sx or better on the box. But for the GUS, the game doesn't have to mix
- the samples into one channel. The result is a gain in speed, therefore the
- game is playable on a 286. But again I have to ask: am I right? I didn't
- hear the game on a SB or SBPro.
