If you are old enough I'm sure you have played this game. I remember playing it on a 386 with 5 1/4 disks:

never had a 386

all my friends were playing all the cool games, while my 286 coudn't even run windows 3.1 (no color for me either).

However, I'm glad my dad waited and got me a 486 dx 33MHz w/ 4MB of ram. They came with 2MB of ram, but we upgrade it to 4 for gaming

That thing was fast

it ran Doom like no other

hehe...I remember sometime around '91 or '92 when we got a Comtrade 486 DX2 (@66

)...bought it for a steal at around $3200

...and ran AutoCAD 10 faster than lightning.

The 486 with the dx2 math co-processor was the Conroe of its day.

Nice memories of that one.
