Aricene: You can press CTRL-F11 a few times to lower the CPU cycles DOSbox simulates. For M&M1, I lower it to around 300 cycles or so.
CTRL-F12 speeds it back up if you lower it too far.
Waltorious: This is true but I'd recommend the fan patch instead... lowering cycles will cause the entire game to slow down, whereas the fan patch only slows down the text. CTRL-F12 speeds it back up if you lower it too far.
Adjusting cycles is easy to do though so it's worth a try to see if you like it.
Also the exact cycles setting will vary from user to user because it depends on your CPU.
