I'm having problems with using the keyboard in Deja Vu by Mindscape.

Whenever the game needs keyboard input - like when speaking to someone or when changing the drive letter it saves on. The game seems to lock up.

Should work with machine=cga, and it won't cause you to lose anything because the game is designed for CGA graphics. DOSBox simulates a standard keyboard for CGA, Tandy, and Hercules machine types by using non-enhanced keyboard BIOS calls in its input loop, which is what the game expects. It's likely that the issue applies to Shadowgate and Uninvited as well.

I switched my machine type to CGA and the game now works fine! Thanks! 😁
