Any fan of Sierra adventures will tell you that the worst thing about Sierra's SCI adventures is the timer bugs that prevail in many games, making some games unplayable on even a slow Pentium. Slowdown utilities have been unable to address the problem so far, but an astute fan has finally devised a fix.

An individual patch is available for most of Sierra's SCI adventures. To download the fixes, visit this website. While Adventure Gamers still recommends DOSBox for dealing with timer bugs, this new fix may be the perfect solution for those that find DOSBox difficult to use.
