Not really, unless you count running the DOS version (download link at the end of the review) in DOSBox.
This offers a much more controlled speed.

there is (apparently) an option for windows as well but you would have to pay for it:

EDIT: I just found a neat list of slowdown software here:

Well as for DOS Box that is an option indeed, but I have a trouble getting the sound working - I have Intel 82801GB ICH7 Famely High Definition A-1 Audio and Realtek on Windows end...
How should I configure DOS Box and how should I configure game setup? So far I have not got sound working.... sound and music - always the nerveeating thing about old games..

nope... no help, I keep on trieing and I can not get a positive result. Now the modified version does not have the option as a regular DOS program would have that could help a little bit perhaps and that would be to enable the Compatible Timer Hardware Emulation, cause I have no problem with sound with that one, only the speed problem and when I run the thing under DOS Box I get a perfect scielnce with the default settings, now when I run the setup for the game I do set the soundcard according to the DOS Box settings correct? I did try that and in that case either I have something wrong still in the settings or it does not work correctly as it should. My question would be this time:
Does the setting in autoexec.nt and config.nt matter how the DOS Box handles sound cause if it does then my default setting for SB in autoexec.nt is SET BLASTER A220 I5 D1 P330 T3,
how should I configure the game setup,
is there anything else that might be wrong with DOS Box itsself or it´s configuration?

It's not the autoexec.nt that counts, it's the dosbox settings:

To know if they still are on default params type set at the dosbox prompt.

Well.. Depending on what you set up in Dosbox.
You should also "synchronize" those settings in the game's setup program..

Make sure that ADR;IRQ;(H)DMA you have selected in Dosbox are the same as what you choose in the game settings

And if you haven't altered the soundblaster section of your Dosbox.conf file.
It should be that what Dosraider has posted:
SB16 or better
ADR 220
IRQ 7
DMA 1
HDMA 5

Dosbox will only look @ it's own settings file for the EMULATED hardware settings.

You should NOT alter any of your Windows files..
Or even look in them for the same matter..
