      I have always had the problem of old sierra games running to fast on a new pc. Today I found a program called dosbox that works excellent on most of the games i have tested. You can download it from http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/

      Even better are new patches that fix the timer bugs. These patches really work. QfG is now playable all the way through on a fast machine, without emulators or slowdown utilities. And more patches are being made. Get them here:

      Though DOSBox is still good for other issues, such as the save bug in GK1 when played in Win 2k/XP.
