I have this really old game from the DOS era, anyone know how to run it in my modern machine?

Question

I have a copy of Test Drive III: The Passion, but whenever I run it in my Windows XP machine it runs too fast. Is there any way to run this game in a modern computer?

There is a DOS emulator called DOSBox that supports this game. Get full details on DOSBox support of Test Drive 3 here, along with some helpful comments.

You can download all the Test Drive games for free at abandonia.com.

You already have [dosbox] tagged. Have you already tried Ctrl+F11? This tutorial has some more tips.

You also have [abandonware] tagged. You should probably know that the legal standing for that is about as firm as piracy of modern games. Which is to say, it's the same. Just old.
