   Sorry, but I can't really recommend it.  On a 68000, it is painfully 
slow.  Works good in 68030 mode though.  As for the 2 player option in 
68000 don't even think about it.  Also in 2 player mode, the sounds from 
only 1 players palne can really be heard.  Graphics are mediocre, but 
definitely not 256 VGA.  Maybe Red Baron or Knights of the Sky will be 
better if ported.  As for now, I think I'll stick with Wings :)
