I don't know about that. Invaders ran pretty darn slow on my 486-75. Still,
your other games ran good and fast.
Using the memory funtions on mode 19, I made a bunch of little demo games
(though I never released any), which were designed on my 486 and are fast.
Being on this topic, what is a simple way to control the frame rate (so
games won't burn on faster computers)? Anyone?

P.S. Has anyone else had trouble with some of the new games on the Official
Page, trying to get them to run?
