There are a few like Wing Commander and Test Drive 3.
However turning off the Cache on the 486 (can be done through BIOS or command line tools) solves this issue. Most 486 also have a Turbo button, which gives you even more flexibility.
Hence why I wouldn't choose a 386 at all!
UNLESS it's a Vobis Highscreen 386-DX 33 desktop 🤣 That was my first ever PC...
I really didnt like that vobis computer. My dad had also this one. It came with a small / tiny motherboard with 5 ISA slots! (it lacked 3 slots, because AT standard had 8 slots) Came with an (i thought) 60 - 80MB harddisk in front cage.. Trident 512kB 16-bit worsed graphics card ever! and a Winbond I/O ISA card.. The very bad con was that the processor DX 33mhz was solderd to the motherboard!.
