Re: WOLF3D fot A2 GS

[romeo@anet-dfw.com (Romeo)]

I get the point Supertimer is making. But, how fast of an accelerator does it 
take to make the game run *smoothly* enough to actually enjoy *playing* the 
game?

Ther reason I am asking is that I have a chance to buy a 7mHz TWGS, and can't 
decide if I should grab it or wait for a faster one.
