port_out(0x3c4,0xf02);
I SO WANT TO EQUATE 0x3C4 TO THE VGA SEQUENCER INDEX REGISTER BUT I CAN'T
okay I've fixed OSDEV:

They had the introduction of the gameport listed as "the PCjr" (it's from 1981, the PCjr came out in 1984... and didn't even have this gameport connector!) but more importantly, they had the order of the joystick axises wrong.
god. Duke Nukem 1 has so much copy-pasted code.
Like, there's a ton of hint dialog boxes like "You need the key to open this door!" or "you get more points if you catch the balloon"
you'd think they'd just have ShowMessage() and pass it a different string, but nope. it's a different function.
@foone Assuming C, it's a bit weird. You'd have to do something like:
DEF_DBOX(restore_which_game, "Restore which game?")
void some_func(...) {
int value = USE_DBOX(restore_which_game);
}
Not sure how that's any better than just writing a sane dbox function.
