I agree with Office Monk - just use DOSBox as your emulator to play the game, and lower the cycles to suit your computer. Press to decrease cycles (i.e. Slow down gameplay) and press to increase cycles (i.e. speed up gameplay)

It's nice, easy and friendly - and of course, you can download DOSBox via the link on the front page of Abandonia

Take a look at this post - Link
It's the best of those slowdown programs - small, simple, freeware and effective.
