Lowering Clock speed to play dos games

I want to play this old game called vengence of excalibur. The problem is I die within 2 seconds since everything is moving at hyper speed. Is there anyway to reduce the speed?

You may want to check into DOSBox. It can slow down DOS games.

Try downloading DosBox version 0.61. It looks like you'll get the most support for that game with that version.

I have the 0.65 version. It does not work, but I manage to make the game slow enough to make it playable.
