From there, find the recommended os/processor combination that matches your game, and apply/ok/done it. This should get your game running at the speed it was intended.

That doesn't work. Nor does it emulate old hardware.

Use DOSBOX. It's what it's designed for.

PoolRad Sokul Keep was easy. If you got the right party, and cure poisons.

The castle maze was pretty whacked, couple of transports and mirror flip wall.

Toughest maze ever was TG16 Order of the Griffon. Had an internal island maze. If you stopped or got turned around and picked the wrong wall to hug you were screwed.

Find any user friendly DB front-ends yet?

I haven't used this program in a couple of years so I'm not sure about the newer version, but I was quite happy with CPU Killer. It lets you choose exactly how much or little you want to slow down your cpu.

Dosbox should do it. You can download preconfigured setups for each game if you don’t know what to do yourself...the preloads are generally good, or the best that’s feasible anyway (Daggerfall didn’t seem quite right, for example).

Give Eye of the Beholder a try sometime!

(I used to have hand drawn maps of it, heheh)
