Most games using bink/smacker are pentium minimum(or at least top 486 model ), 286 wouldn't run shit.

People forget how wide of performance and architecture gulf was between 286 and 486, 586 itself was renamed 'Pentium architecture'.
286,386,486,586-pentium are all distinct architectures, not models-of-the-year like
sandy bridge or rocket lake.

Designed to run on an IBM 8088 4.77MHz PC, this Wild Demo was absolutely one of the highlights of Pilgrimage'04.

Playing Wizball on 286 was more impressive than a silly dithered animation.
