I have been playing Comanche since yesterday and the patch really makes it a lot nicer. Without the patch I was flying through the landscapes so fast that harder missions were almost impossible. 😀
Specifications: IBM PS/ValuePoint with Pentium Overdrive 83, 16MB & 1MB S3 (integrated in MOBO). 😊
Interesting old thread...
Some more ideas:
- If you don't have an ISA slot you could try a Rendition card, those are pretty slow in VGA mode, slower than a lot of ISA cards.
- BIOS options are indeed a good place to look at.
- If you have two ISA slots you could install an old 8-bit card like a monochrome Hercules (clone). This should put the VGA card into 8-bit mode too so it will be much slower. (Experienced that myself at the time.) This won't slow down a PCI video card.
I got to play with this game one day and check this out for myself. Hopefully it comes to GOG.com one day 😀

Frame rate does not seem to be limited, it gets very smooth on my 6x86 200mhz, but then the game goes too fast.
I ran speedsys on my p90, the memory bandwidth maybe a bit slow, what you guys think?
Whats the name of this program?
Oh thanks for fixing this 😊
Have you tried using the ISA card trick on other games that run way too fast on newer hardware to see if it slows them down, too?
