Holy hell, that is OLD old. We're talking about the beginnings of digital time here. Had the first web constellations formed yet? How fast did you crank your CPU?

You couldn't crank your CPU in the olden days, it'd make games run in fast forward.

To be fair, unlocking the frame rate on console-to-PC ports still fast-forwards many games including Nier: Automata or breaks the physics like in Skyrim.

It doesn't have to be this way, any more, but it still is because… Lack of expertise? I really can't think of anything else?

Yeah, I played it a lot, and a similar one called aviator which was a kinda flight sim. There wasn't really much of an internet back then but stuff was easy to copy on tapes.
