Many people have been frustrated with the default text speed to start the APBA hockey game. Usually, one has to keep hitting the “[“ key to try and slow the game down while the first few shifts zip by. This problem mainly stems from the fact that the code runs faster on new machines, remember, the original game was written in the days of 80286 and 80386 processors and the speeds were set for those machines. But now in the days of 3+ GHz quad core machines, the speed has become way too fast.
