I don't know anything about this game, but I can suggest a possibility: Some
games grab the keyboard and mouse inputs very early on, ahead of any
dmouse-type program that blanks the screen if there's no input for a certain
time.  If you are not booting the game from the original disk, you should make
sure you kill off screen-blankers before starting the game.  I ran into this
problem with MarbleMadness.
