I just thought this might be usefull/interesting for someone.

The mouse cursor is not visible during the game, though you can still play the game. Things highlight when you move mouse cursor on them, so it is possible to choose new game or intro from the starting menu and play the game (though it is a bit more difficult 😉 ). In order to see the whole introduction you have to disable sound (otherwise it freezes). The mouse works very fast 😉

Ok, it seems that intro freezes only when the game has not enough cycles.
It works perfectly with sound now.

So the only bug with the game is the invisible mouse. I have noticed the same effect when I removed mdrv (mouse driver) from game's .bat file. So I guess that mdrv.exe just doesn't want to work in dosbox.

hmm dosbox doesn't really like another mousedriver 😉
at least if that mouse driver intend to read the hardware ports.
