Countered by chrono troopers. ;) (Sadly RA2 is too fast on newer PCs with no patch to fix it...)
hmm, ive never had a problem with it (2.8ghz AMD quad core) are you running the original or the one from the decade pack?
 
Would MoSlo help you? Can you run it in DosBox (you can adjust the speed settings in there, I can run Wings of Fury from 1989 with no problem)

RA2 is Win app so DosBox is out of question. (and should it be dos game I have P 188 and 486 ready...)

As for MoSlo,does it work under Win7? (But I guess I'll try to build good PII/PIII system for it)

But it looked funny at that speed. (First mission/USA)

ETA:Someday I'll get back to it...

I think this is appropriate here.

RIP Charles Norrie, landslide winner of the June/July Stundies, passed away as a result of suicide by mod, 11th September 2010.

He first showed up on the forum on 29th August, less than two weeks ago. In his short JREF life he gathered eight yellow cards, a round handful of mod boxes and two suspensions. His first 24-hour stay on the naughty step was acquired after only two days on the forum. Three days later, he copped a whole week in the cooler. That time was up yesterday, but instead of returning to debate, he sent Lisa an abusive PM.

His active membership spanned only five days, during which he achieved 101 posts, and the aforementioned eight yellow cards etc. etc. His performance in the "stick fingers in ears and hum real loud" department was one of the finest I have personally witnessed.

and the aftermath here (including a meltdown that got him an effective ban on that blog too).

Let's hear it for Charles, he was one of the all-time greats.

19 belongs to the Wiley E Coyote school of physics.



Hey now! My high school physics teacher used Wile E. to teach many proper physics lessons!


Here's a hint: if you can't figure out the answer, assume the Coyote catches the Roadrunner, and work backwards. Mr. Fennel hated that annoying bird.
