[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Slowing down your IBM

parnes@eniac.seas.upenn.edu (Gary Parnes) (12/05/89)

Some games which I have played (of the arcade variety) don't pay attention
to your system speed, and so they are impossible on some of the faster
machines.

I have heard that there is a way to make your computer slow down.  Does
anyone know of some sort of command which does this?

Windows?

Just kidding.  Actually, PC Magazine published a utility to slowdown your
computer about three years ago(maybe a little more).  If you browse their
bulletin board, you can probably find it under SLOWDOWN or some such name.
