And therein lies your problem.. the packaging clearly states that 12Mhz or
faster is highly recommended (required?).  Inside the box, it mentions that
16Mhz or faster is also nice.  My 386SX runs at 20Mhz and the game is FANTASTIC,
although I still have noticed some response degradation when more than seven
or eight ships are on the screen.  Just lure one away from the pack and then
take it out one-on-one, then go back for another.
