Unfortunately this is a problem I am not having since I own a Mac Plus...

The one complaint I hear about the Mac II family is that some programs
(mainly games) are just too fast when run on a Mac II.  I know that in Falcon
there is a menu command called "Too Fast" that will slow down the game and make
it playable on the Mac II.  Why don't more authors do this?  How difficult is
it for a program to check for a Mac II and insert delays?  Could this be done
by an INIT perhaps?  Anybody got any free time to write one?

I figured now is a good time to bring this up.  Imagine playing some games on
the 40MHz Mac IIfx!
