You need to play it in an emulator (such as SPIN or Spectaculator) with the Fuller joystick attached. The game assumes that there is one, and the lack of one combined with floating bus behaviour produces that effect.

Looks like the game ignores the keyboard if a kempston is attached.
So you either need an emulator with kempston joystick support or, for keyboard, an emulator that gives floating bus behaviour on port 31.One Man And His DroidPosted a few days back about control probs with a few games, after a bit of getting used to what to look for controls-wise and all the .txt files und…

You're not missing anything. Dunny accidently built at least the last couple of releases using the old contention/floating bus code.
