Hello,
  I use OpenMSX, too (version 0.15.0). If you prefer to use the rom files (in the "rom" directory of the archive), you just have to select "Load ROM... (slot A)" in the emulator, then select one of the three files (for example "MSXqueens1.rom") and then "Autodetect (guess)" for the choice of the mapper type. The game should start automatically.

The address 0x4000 is the starting address of the ROM to be mapped in the emulator. If you select "Plain rom starting at 0x4000" in the mapper type, the game works, too. However, the emulator seems to guess correctly the address with the simple "Autodetect".

Hope it helps,

D.

Thanks Davide. I wasn't able to get to work so i have run it on my c64 and its going well. I like the look of the font in that version.

Just wanted to come back and say i really enjoyed this. I found the commands needed to be tough to guess. I was correct in what to do but I wasn't typing it the right way. More generic commands such as "use X" didn't seem to work as much as i thought they would. Great story.

Thank you for your kind comment!

If it can help future players who will read the comments,  in general, I would advice to avoid to adopt "use" altogether in the game, to prefer more specific actions. One can complete the game using verbs such as taketiejumptalk, wearread, examine, throwput, give, drive, try, break, pour, turn, touch, plus the common directions, etc...

Sometimes, "use" is recognized as a synonym of a more specific action, sometimes it doesn't.

Cheers,

D.


P.S. if you finished the game, write me privately (there is an email on my blog) with the final password, I'll add your name to the hall of fame on my blog.

By the way, I would like to add that someone has put together an online MSX emulator where the game can be played:
