I found a few seconds to try the game. Loaded it onto my Pentium Pro. Ran it. Played one game. Started a new game. Then, pressed “Q” to quit. Returned to command prompt. Ran a different program that uses the mouse and exited. No issues noticed.

Hi Jim, I downloaded it and looked it over. The sources are fine, no problem there. Then I played it on FreeDOS under QEMU. The on-screen help says 'N' for a new game, 'Q' to quit. Using 'N' to start a new game is fine. Playing the game works fine. But when I press 'Q' to quit, it hangs and n
