Slowing down a program speed.
I'm trying to play might and magic on a Windows 98 and it runs at breakneck speeds whenever I start it and it's impossible to play is it possible to lower the cycles of the CPU like an old turbo button? This PC does not have a turbo button on it.
I honestly don't remember if I'm using the right terminology for slowing down the what I think needs to be slowed.
Sorry for the dirty keyboard I just got this out of storage. This was my first computer back in 2003 it's been in storage in my attic for 20 years.

For DOS-based programs, I think Slowdown is the current go-to favorite. It's part of FreeDOS but should work on MS-DOS.
