Ok, you really haven't given us anything to work with. What specs is the PC at your work? Proccessor etc. Also what cycles are you running the games at in dosbox? You will need more than the default '3000' in order to run most games at good speeds.

Also try using the 'dynamic' CPU type as it allows you to use more cycles and get higher speeds without stuttering.

For QFG2 you shouldn't need much more cycles than the default though, if it goes terribly slow than perhaps the machine can't handle it, but you are going to have to try dynamic cpu and tell us the specs to be sure.

Megatraveller, at least, shouldn't be a very demanding game. I am pretty sure he hasn't DOSBox properly configured yet. We need to know everything avatar_58 asked for (CPU specs, cycles, etc) to be able to help you.

The thing I don't understand, is why the game runs 400x faster then normal without dosbox

When the game runs natively on your PC, it uses the real CPU your machine is blessed with. DOSBox on the other hand, has to emulate everything, including the CPU.

I'm sure 400x is a bit of an exageration, but you certainly get the point now.

I'm pretty sure I found my problem(s).
First, the work computer is a pentium 3 733 mhz. It's a pile of junk, really. Something like 128megs of RAM, no discernable video card that I can tell.
Secondly, I had forgot (stupidly) that MegaTraveller's space travel was never particularly... smooth.
I was assuming its stutteryness was because of configuration issues. 🤣.

Thanks guys.
