simcga was a similar utility, it used B800h for the CGA-compatible frame buffer (the card also had memory in that location as a secondary graphics page): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hercules_Graphics_Card#CGA_emu...



If I only knew back then, but it might've not been been available to me. Or it's possible that I've tried it, and might've even relied on it, as I played other games, but this one, along with few others were VGA only. Wow, now that i think of it... it was long time ago... Just trying to squeze that last bit of 640kb with QEMM... looool


Real mode x86 is certainly not the most accomodating environment for hardware emulation :)
