Hey I use DosBox and WinXp and the game is wery slow
I also use DOS-Box under Windows XP, but it works fine with me. If it is too slow for you, try changing the cycle rates.
Here is a brief list of speed control shortcuts:
CTRL-F7 Decrease frameskip.
CTRL-F8 Increase frameskip.
CTRL-F11 Decrease DOSBox Cycles.
CTRL-F12 Increase DOSBox Cycles.

I find 16000 to 18000 cycles does it.


For my part, this is a good game. It is a vast improvement on the one I used to play - on a SEGA Master System II. Most notably, on the MS2, the Stampede level was basically Simba jumping ledges and avoiding landing in front of the wildebeast. These were basically sprites that glide along the bottom with absolutely no animation whatsoever and look more like buffalo than wildebeast. Furthermore, their speed relates to the screen region, not the level, so they seemed to move faster as you progress to the right. :blink:

On the PC version, they came a long way. Now your viewpoint dollies in front of a running Simba looking back and the charging wildebeast creep up behind. All you have to do here is move out of their way as they overtake and jump over the many rocks lying in your path. :w00t:

Also, I might add that the battle with Scar at the end is much more engaging! Just avoid getting smacked!
