Old game runs too fast!

Hey everyone!

I've got a copy of Thief installed on the PC in my sig. It is plagued with that speed scaling problem that many old games have running on new PC's, relying on the hardware to determine how fast the game should run. The game runs so fast it's unplayable! What can I use to slow it down? There used to be an old Win95 utility called Turbo that you could use to scale down your PC speed by percentages for playing certain games that wouldn't be playable on faster computers, but I can't find anything that'll work. Anyone have any ideas?

There's a program called CPU killer. Do a forum search. It was posted once or twice before
