	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.
