Some dos games may be built to slow for todays boxes. For example Jim Kitchen's dos football game. On a 386 running under a 1 gig chip. The game runs good, but on a p4 the timing was off. Instead of getting 15 minute quarters you got around 5 or just a bit more. he addressed that issue with his self voicing football game and ported it to windows.
