Shareware version of the game from 1998

I have an old DirectX 5 game which has a small issue with the Windows system cursor, on any Windows version (tested on 7 / 8 / 8.1 / 10).

Originally, the game hid the mouse cursor upon start to display its own one, but with DXGL, the system cursor flickers through (as if it's hidden every second frame, and visible every other). This distracts from game play.

An old shareware version of the game which can be freely shared is attached.

Confirming bug.  This one will require further investigation for a fix.
