Yep, and as I stated in my previous post I've been able to play other games like Descent etc. just fine at 100K cycles with no sound skips or anything. 40K is clearly not enough for this game as it's a literal slideshow at 640x480 and even going up to 80K doesn't seem to help much. I'd like to know just what hoops you and the other poster jumped through to get it running "fine" at 640x480 because I've tried every setting, shutting off sound etc. - patched the game to 1.04, and as I've said my computer is up to date and other games and applications (and DOSBox games) run as expected, so it's not a matter of CPU throttling. I'm inclined to think it's either a bug in DOSBox 0.74 or some setting/optimization you're using that I'm not. (what it is I can't fathom as I've tried everything, I'm about ready to give up as I don't think this game is worth this much aggravation)
