So, I decided to give this a go on my 486 machine. The game loads fine, runs fairly smoothly, mouse operation is quite nice (when your DOS build actually has a mouse driver installed), however it sure seems like when the opponent has to take its turn, it just...doesn't. I've tried multiple different instances of this game and no matter what, on the opponents turn, the opponent does nothing. The game is not frozen by any means.
