You can play with the mouse, but navigation is awkward. My keyboard has a compact design, and doesn't have a numeric keypad. I looked on Amazon and discovered that you can buy USB numeric keypads. I wonder if this will work? Does anyone know? Thanks a lot.

You can use the DOSBox mapper (Ctrl+F1) to remap the keys however you want them. If the key you want to use already has a mapping you can go to it as well and repeat the process to move it to something else.

Number pad 8, 4, 5, 6 are forward/backward and turn left/right, 7 and 9 turn left/right while moving forward, 1 and 3 are strafe left/right.

Thanks a lot. I didn't realise I had a reply for my question, because I received no email from gog about it. Pity, because I bought a numeric keypad. It worked, but I will now investigate DOSBox's mapper...

Edit. DOSBox mapper worked well, thanks.

It looks like this solution no longer works since they've switched to Boxer instead of Dosbox. You can use the CMD-U to remap 789-UIO-JKL to the numpad, but since you need "j" to jump that doesn't really solve the problem. Is there any other way to remap keys?

This is an old thread, so sorry for resurrecting it, but: I've been playing the game with a second hand Logitech G13. I can recommend it.

Having no numeric keypad on my main PC (I use an 80% keyboard), it was a bit of a hassle to set up. If anyone is in a similar situation, I'll be happy to post my profile for the game online.
