  Well, my problem is that It works fin on a 386 and up to a P150 then it
starts to get faster (more so on cyrix machines) and I suspect that on a
P400 it would be unplayable.

Although I don't have access to anything more than a P200.
I could put a screen update on an interupt but it might cause problems on
the slower machines with slow graphics cards. I have been used to using the
Amiga and this is the first time I have had to deal with such variance in
speed of CPU's.
