Tried few XT era games on two 286 machines - noname 286 - 16/8mhz and the 6mhz IBM 5170. Tried to play first of all games "Game Over I and II" using Mo'Slo Deluxe v 2.1 - but all the times everething turns very slow after few moments of more or less adequate running. Can it be solved or are there any reall good slow-down utilities to play 4.77mhz XT games on a 286 or + ?

Interesting question, since there is no cache to deactivate you need a turbo-button als slowdown.
My EuroPC 9,54Mhz 8088 (upgraded to Nec V20) can be clocked via keyboard on the fly, that's nice.

The internal cache by 486 machines can be deactivated via software, that's nice too.
(found a vid of a 486 dx2/66 playing wing1 that runs on propper speed due to deactivating the internal cpu cache before starting)
