On
occasions you may find that an old game runs too fast on your PC and
you are unable to play the game because of that. This usually occurs
when running older DOS games which where created on a PC at very low
CPU rate.
Turbo is a
tiny (only about 50 KB) freeware utility for Windows that slows down the
CPU speed on your computer to emulate a lower CPU speed. As a warning
flag, once you have activated Turbo with a reduced CPU speed, all programs
running will be slowed down accordingly and not only the game that you try
to run! Even games running from DOS shell (DOS mode) will be slowed down.
You can at any time reset the CPU speed within Turbo to normal 100%.

As a final note, there is no guarantee that Turbo will make a
game playable just because the effective CPU speed on your computer is
reduced. Some old games were not designed with CPU timing loops, and
those games will instead produce "choppy" graphics. It's a matter of
trial and error in regards to how effective Turbo will be for a
certain game.
