Prehistorik mystery

Post by gabonator »

I have ported prehistorik 1 to C++ and javascript and noticed strange thing. If you set memory location 1f86:8b94 to nonzero value, it will display a "mouse" cursor which is controlled by arrow keys. Any clue what this could be?

In dos box (you need to unpack the game first with UNP.EXE or download unpacked binary here):
**debug historik**
**bp 0a34:16bb**
**sm 1f86:8b94 1**

Or press M during game (it will only show the cursor, movement doesn't work here because the interrupt emulation where the cursor position is updated is ignored):

Maybe repost your query at www.Vogons.org , as there are some more experienced game programmers there I think.
