I bought this game ages ago - wonderful game except that the mouse doesn't work in DOSBOX. This is quite annoying because the entire interface is mouse driven, and using the cursor keys to guide the pointer is slow and tedious. Would anyone know anything to fix this? The archive can be found on popular sites.

Hmmmmm didn't debug it but i think it uses the serial port for
mouse devices only (no int33). So you might have some luck
with the serial passthrough and a serial mouse.

I doubt I still have a working serial mouse 😜 is there no way to emulate a mouse through that port?

At the moment the serial passthrough is the only working one.

Just digging this up. Has there been a better solution for this problem?
