I just bought this game installed the game click on the play icon and the game seems to load, the intro works great. when i get to the menu, the music is playing but the mouse doesn't work and I cant use any of the keyboard keys to control the menu (may not be in the game). only way to close the game is to either alt f4 or alt tab out and right click on application and close from the task bar.
I am running windows 10, Nvidia 970gtx. im not sure if the game is hanging or if its an issue with the input. is anyone able to help?

try alt + enter to put game in windowed mode ? You might also try different graphic mode in dosbox configurator ? not sure :)
