This game (arcade version) Never ran on a 286 that's Pre-Pentium days right there LOL The Hardware it came on was a Pentium II 233 64 meg ram Win95 OSR2 with Plus and tweaking software, And yes it was some "custom-ish" video card It ran / runs a Ventana 2D video card mostly used in high end simulators for 2D workloads, But most any good 2D card will work. (This card was used in game during the demo modes to run the AVI files to promote the game ect..) (and for running windows) Also it ran / runs a Obsidian 90-4440. This was kind of like a supped up Voodoo 2 PCI but it was AGP Half Height card. IIRC it runs a 100 MHz and the PCI voodoo 2 runs at 66,(Or was it 33) I forget, but I have a second PC running a voodoo 2 PCI and it is fine.
