I've just dusted off one of my old DOS games I'd forgotten about, called X:Com Enemy Unknown. Now I was wondering, how do I install a DOS game?

Cheers, it works =)

Only one problem left, it's running too fast. I lowered the CPU speed all the way down to 1% and it still runs to fast. What can I do to make it run slower?

Are you using dosbox? If so why didn't you tell it if you were asked way before?
