And between 3.5 and 8.5 MB of RAM depending on the game.
BTW, 24 MB is what you need to launch the standard game. It won't run long
on 24 MB, however. Some larger games (Ancient Near East) need up to 36 MB
to launch. Double that to make room for all the stuff that gets allocated
during a long game, and you get what Xconq really needs. For this reason, I
think the possibility of running Xconq on some of these older systems is
rather theoretical.
