486 75Mhz

Is there any way to get Ms Pacman to run properly on a 486 75Mhz machine??? I know it is a long shot, but I want to set up a min ms pac and was hoping to use this comp. Any help is greatly appreciated.... Patrick

Have you tried a really old version of MAME?

I remember galaga seemed to play alright on a pentium 90 years ago.

You want Vantage:

You want really play via emulation?  A solution could be to not use emulators, i think you can find very good port of this game in Native PC code for DOS. 
I remember i had a very good pacman which worked perfectly on my old PC XT 8088 4,77MHz!  and it becomed unplayed when i used the turbo switch of my PC to speed up to 8 Mhz!

I'd take emulation over simulation any day.

Yeah, VAntAGE should be able to play it without any problems.

Thanks for the replies, I'll give Vantage a try...

non-mame emulators are almost always faster.

Hive is also real quick.

There is a REM! (rygar emulator) that might be close... I used it on a 233mhz but it wasn't pushing anything.

MGE (multiple gauntlet emulator) is also great...

Sparcade (for archon and others)

Look at the emulators which where out when that machine wasn't such a dog.

Another vote for Vantage.

I have it running on my old 486dx2
