Have you addressed the Slime Go issue, where having a faster processor makes the game practically unwinnable?

I tried replaying the original using dosbox and everything was fine until that. I spent over an hour trying to beat it and ultimately had to use a program specifically written to beat that game to beat it, whereas when I was a kid playing it on our old family computer I beat it easily on the first go.

Can confirm, there is no Slime Go issue here :) If you are looking to play the original, the 25th Anniversary edition also avoids this problem and is available on PC, Switch and iOS.
