Some older games run too fast when you have a new computer.
If it’s a DOS game, you can just use DOSBox.
If it’s not a DOS game, you can’t use DOSBox. But there are other ways to slow down your CPU.
The PC Slowdown Page has several tools to slow down your processor.*
For example, to play SimCopter (an early 3D game created by Maxis), I had to use the The MS DirectShow SDK CPUGrabber, which is available at that website. Otherwise, the game would randomly crash.
*CPU and Processor are the same thing — but real geeks would know this!

ROFL,
I’m laughing because yours is one of the only blogs that is actually showing folks how to SLOW DOWN their FAST PC. My site is exactly the opposite. I help folks SPEED UP their SLOW PC.
I guess there’s always someone out there that needs something.
Cheers.
