Looks like quite alot of work has gone into this game.
A couple of things. Judging from the screen shots, is this a Dos based
game ?
The memory problem you mention at the start of the help file can be
avoided in two ways, either with a memory manager, such as DOS4GW, or
by compiling the application as a 32bit console app. This does mean it
will only run under DOS 7.22, but it will then get access to the
windows paging system.

Graphics for dos can be notoriously difficult to work, on a variety of
different graphics cards. Years ago I wrote a windowing menu system
for some dos workstations, and on most, it worked fine, whilst on
others, just a black screen.

Which graphics libraries are you using ? VESA ?
