Thanks to Hendros for his wonderful patch. The game works well on dosbox but his patch runs even better.

There is one problem, though it might not be the fault of the patch, that remains is that the cursors in the game are like an ugly, negative, black and white color. I think this has got to do with 256 color mode, since this happens for my Playboy interviews program too, with the colors on part of the interface coming out all wrong. I think these two problems are related although this time its only the cursors.

Does anyone have any experience fixing this problem?
I have a Geforce 2 MX400 64MB using 8.1.9.8 version drivers. Thanks.

The Hendros installer is a Windows installer. The cursor in many Sierra Windows games was black and white while the DOS versions had color cursors. If you use his installer, you will have the Windows game, hence B&W cursors. NewRisingSun had developed patches for GK1 that would work with the DOS version, but took them down when Hendros released his.
