Programmer
What I do to slow a program down is use a FOR NEXT loop. Where a program gets to fast, add this code.
FOR x = 1 to 5000:NEXT x
FOR x = 1 to 5000:NEXT x
To cheesylouie:
Qbasicking is right on track. I no longer have that BAS file to tell you exactly where to slow it down, but if memory serves--it is in a SUB-module. But, you can trace the program by using the F8 key.
Open the BAS file.
Find the location that it asks you for NOVICE/EXPERT and INCREASE SPEED stuff.
Place a STOP or breakline (F9).
Press F5 to run it.
When it STOPs/breaks, write down the input variable (so you don't forget what you're looking for).
Press F8 continiously until you come to the section that supposedly does a timing calc to supposedly slow down the speed and increase the returned value by at least 1000.
Press F5 to continue running the game and work out the speed for your system from there.
(Don't forget to remove the STOP command or breakline once you know where it is.)
I think the variable was called SPEED or SLOWDOWN. I may be wrong--since I no longer keep that game on my system.
Good Luck,

There is also a program "moslo" that will slow the machine down. Don't know if it will help you. See Ed Fair
