There are just so many good games from that era I can't remember all of them.

edit: actually there are a lot of games which say they require at least a pentium but will play on a 486. I was stuck with a 486 until 1999, so trust me I know. Basically what required more speed was ingame videos. usually they played too slowly. however if you skip them the game is otherwise playable.

Descent 1 & 2, Syndicate Plus, Strike Commander, Warcraft 2, Total Annihilation (it will play, but very slowly)

it wasnt random, it was after you got to 2000m
but sometimes you could outrun it and it would just catch up with you later

Awesome, I totally forgot about that game, I remember when that game first came with our Pentium 200 from 1996... There were so many games on that pentium 200 but unfortunately I don't have that system and I'm not sure how I would have gone about obtaining those games again...

Yeah and if you ran over the dog, the dog would wet it's self...
