First CPU I recall was a 286 and my dad had set up some games in there to play including my favorite - Moonbugs. Unfortunately, the game timing was apparently coded to the CPU speed rather than the clock because when we upgraded to a 386 the game would run and end with GAME OVER in less than a second.

I had been excited about the new, faster computer until that discovery, lol.
