This is Wing Commander 1 running on a Pentium 75 Mhz (50 * 1.5) with L2 cache disabled. Does this look like the right speed? Also, no matter how closely matched the CPU is, does the end of the intro, where the Kilrathi ship gets blown up, does it always lag like this? Or is it an anomaly when not playing on age appropriate hardware.

Speed and lag was period correct the engine had no real speed regulation.

Unless you play a level I can’t say if it’s too fast but it looks on the fast side to me.

286-16 is about “right” unless you have twitch reflexes
