NOTE ABOUT DOSBOX: I checked my DosBox config and I have cycles=20000. I guess by default the config has cycles=max and this sometimes results in the game working too fast. The config file for Windows DosBox is found here: %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\DOSBox\dosbox-{version}.conf. Search for cycles= and change to 20000 if the game appears to run too fast.
