Trouble in 'Zork Grand Inquisitor' with the mouse

I´m running this successfully after installing, until the screen where you can choose 'New Game', 'LoadSaved Game', 'Options' etc. The pointer is stuck upper left corner. I can reach 'Options' with the keyboard but no go with the mouse. After quitting the game the mouse is back fully functional.
Tried installing keyboard mouse or whatever it´s called from the 'Universal Access' tab under the Mac System installer, which failed.
It´s installed and tried under OS 8.6 because it wanted 'Game Sprockets'.
Any thoughts?

What Mac are you running this on? Actual or emulated? G4, G3, or earlier? What mouse type are you using? Mac or 3rd party? If 3rd party, try disabling its drivers for this game.

You lazy sod. LoL
I read elsewhere here that this game requires a minimum of 233 MHz G3 and OS 8.6 to play. Possibly though the game is taking over the emulated mouse controllers causing it to stop working. You may need to venture down to that basement and run this game on the real deal.
